Who can find me a sofa cover?

Hi

My ancient sofa is looking really shabby but it's basically in great shape and very comfy, so just needs new covers. the shape is a bit like this

All I can find is

'made to measure' cover services, which I can't afford now

basic stretch covers but the problem with these is that they cover the whole sofa in one go, wheareas mine has separate cushions (seats 3) for seat and back, and I think that would drive me nuts with the cushions moving out of place under the cover.

throws, which have the same problem as above.

What I really want is some stretch or adjustable covers to do the frame and separate ones for the cushions, like these ones from Ikea. http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/40047604/. I would take a chance and see if those fit but the seat cushions have a bit that sticks round the corner of the frame and aren't square enough for these covers. I suppose I could see if i could cut the cushions down to that sort of shape if I had to. But really I'd like some stretchy ones. but I just can't find any sets anywhere with separate frame and cushion covers.
Anyone fancy a challenge? Can you find me a supplier?

Your best bet might be a local seamstress or sewing group (try on gumtree or cards in newsagents windows). If you can find them and source a fabric you like its possibly your best option.
