in Old style MoneySaving
I'm moving soon, and want to change the style of my living room, I've reclaimed a lot of old shabby chic things, but my black leather recliner sofas don't really 'fit' now.

Is there a way to cover them? Sofa covers won't work as we do 'recline' a lot

Thank you

    Hello. I am quite a crafty person and sort of :/ recovered a x2 seater sofa a couple of weeks ago. It was old/tired brown. NOW! a bright and cheerful blue and green stripe.

    I bought lined cotton curtains from ebay for 10 pounds and basically cut them up. I always have the sewing machine out.
    I spent 2 days on the sofa covers.
    Made seat covers. Separate back cover and x2 loose covers for the arms.
    It looks fab.

    Are you a crafter?

    More simple just throw a cover over.
    The secret to success is making very small, yet constant changes.:)
