Pat Reese Slipcovers and Window Fashions makes custom slipcovers, bedding, window treatments and other items. We measure and install all of our own work.

The first step in ordering custom covers is selection of the fabric. There are yardage requirements on our price list (click here) . Fabric can be selected from our samples and we will try to make this as convenient as possible. Sometimes we mail or send cuttings to a customer who is too busy or too far from our shop.

Fabric can be furnished by the customer from another source, if a release is signed against any flaws, creasing, shrinkage or other difficulties that require more time than usual. Fabric can be provided pre-washed by us or can be pre-washed by the customer.

Upon beginning an order for custom slipcovers, we prefer to pin and cut the covers on site, in the customer’s home or other location, rather than move furniture. This means that our customers do not have to be without the use of their furniture at all. Old covers should be removed and obstructions around the furniture cleared prior to a cutting appointment. Pinning and cutting of a cover takes approximately one hour per item. Installation takes 15 to 20 minutes.

Completion of the work takes three to six weeks. Payment of 50% is expected when work is ordered, with the balance of the order and sales tax paid upon completion.
