How to recover my sofas.
"took longer and less time than I thought it would."
How I did it: I got started making covers for the sofas and that sort of worked, only the fabric I bought shrank after I washed it and the covers got to be too small and then started pulling apart at the seams. AAAACK! For someone who has sewn since I was a pre-teen, this is a shambles! AAACK!
So I gave it all up and went to Overstock.com and bought cotton duck covers. And you know what? If I use the little twist pins and the tricks they show you on House & Garden TV, it really does look decent and is a lot more satisfying than my too-small, coming-apart-at-the-seams homemade jobs.
Lessons & tips: Overstock.com -- great when you don't have a lot of time!
