Loose covers for sofa

JIL

I think it comes down to how much you want to spend? 
The covers in Amazon come to £55 for both. 

When I used them to cover my dining chairs, I had them in situ for over a year, so it worked out quite economical. I never knew there was such a thing until I noticed them in a pub restaurant and looked on Amazon.

Agree with others regarding throws. I have also used king size bed sheets in the past with a couple of pins to make it fit better. 

The decorator throws sound good and quite strong as well. They will also have another use at a later date.

If you are good at needlework, pinterest has some sofa covers made by patchwork and that involved shaping the shapes around arms and tha back and pinning and sewing them together. Not my thing but some looked ok.

Years and years ago on an episode of Changing Rooms (I think) they used inexpensive fabric decorating covers as sofa throws - they are huge. They come in a beige colour but they ran them through a washing machine with a box of coloured dye and they looked good.

I just looked on Amazon and you can get 12ft cotton decorator throws for £39 for a pack of five.

What a great idea! Thanks
