You're right about sewing a cover, just leave plenty of seam allowance. You could pin it on with wrong side out first like you do with loose covers to make sure it fits.

Personally, I think I wouldn't make a cover. I'd prefer a loose throw which wouldn't look so 'hard' IYKWIM. Ikea often have throws/bedspreads quite cheaply.

thanks, i did think of a loose throw but have 4 small kids so it would spend most of the time being dragged off to make a tent most likely
