Thank you for clicking on my web page which once included my old business, Jean Hutchins
Upholstery, Inc. as well as my current business, Natural Slipcovers.
Over the last 16 years I have met many wonderful people
through the craft and art of reupholstering furniture both in Nova
Scotia and subsequently in North
Carolina. In 2011 I moved to the Camden-Rockport-Rockland area of Maine.
Sadly reupholstering furniture took a toll on the joints in my
hands. I now limit my
practice to making slipcovers and doing other projects that are easier on my
hands like custom-making and covering cushions. Fortunately, thanks to
the wide variety of my customer's furniture and their fabric choices I continue to enjoy the very challenging and
creative work of making slipcovers.
Knowing that this change was inevitable, a few years ago I started Natural Slipcovers, a company that promotes
the use of earth friendly and organic fabricsfor the construction of slipcovers.
As I planned my move to the Coast of Maine in 2011, I decided to primarily focus on custom-made slipcovers, cushions, and pillows.
In my portfolio you can see the care and
attention to detail that go into the work I do: this hasn't changed now
that the covers I make for furniture are removable.
