Question:

What can I use to re-cover a 2 seater sofa cheaply??

I was thinking a couch cover but they are around a hundred dollars . Is there anything else I could use? I was thinking a good quality sheet but I dont know how I would fix it to the couch, or even buying fabric but how would I sew it? Any answers would be great, thanks

Answer:

Buy enough fabric plus a a bit more to completely cover the sofa, sew a hem all the way around the fabric after cutting off enough to sew a long strip that is going around the bottom of the sofa. This strip has to be wide enough to put elastic in so it depends on the size of elastic, I used the round elastic. Place fabric properly on sofa tucking in at cushions etc then put the strip with elastic half way down the bottom of the sofa all the way around. This will hold it all in place and look more like it has been recovered.
did you try checkin a thrift shop? They probably have couch covers and sheets that you can get for like .25-$1 a piece. If your local habitat for humanity has a thrift shop you should go check it out...
