An easy change for your bedroom
I love the look of an upholstered headboard – so tailored and elegant yet still inviting. But, there are a couple of reasons I wasn’t ready to add one to our bedroom – I actually like the look of our wooden headboard, and I also wanted something that was easy to keep clean.
The perfect solution was to sew a slipcover for our wooden headboard, because I can change or wash it easily.
To create a soft feel, I wanted to have a quilted slipcover, and then I thought – why not make it out of a quilt?!
Sweet dreams!

Step 1
I found this grey velvet quilt which is perfect and started by pre-washing the quilt, so it wouldn’t shrink in future washings.
I measured the headboard and added 2″ to the height and 5″ to the width to create my pattern. I used the finished edges of my quilt for the bottom opening.

Step 2
With right sides facing, I sewed the sides and top seams of the slipcover. Then, I carefully cut away some batting from the seam allowance, so the seams would be less bulky. I squared off the top corners, and this easy project was finished!
