Slipcovers

My daughter aquired a new to her sofa from a friend.  A sleeper.  Moving fun.  It involved taking off feet, removing an interior door and three girls and a guy.  It was in good shape except for the cat clawing on one arm, so covering was needed.  Two good old drop cloths from Home Depot.  My mom's workhorse sewing machine. a little time for french seams.








I'm not a fan of zippers or cushion covering.  But I'll probably do those too.  I was so pleased with the result I came home and did my own sofa (one more to go).  Four drop cloths, three zippers so far.  I need one more trip to Home Depot for another drop cloth for the loveseat.





I used the same grommet and lacing closure in the back and Scothguarded it.  If it gets too dirty I'll try some RIT dye.
