How to make sofa cover ?

Hey,

The central part of our living room is the sofa setup. It is the room where guests hang out and residents of the house chill. Having a stylish sofa in the room enhances the look and feel of the entire house. I have thought of some great homemade sofa cover ideas. I like the idea of a floral sofa cover or a dark leather sofa cover. Keep reading to know more. 

You can easily DIY sofa cover at home. You will need materials like cloth of your choice, pins, glue, scissors, etc. A few other sofa cover ideas I like are :

Velvet grey sofa cover 

Forest green sofa cover

Cotton twill

Latex Backed etc.

1. Material :

   You need to know how much raw material you need for your project. Measure your sofa and figure out the length and width. Generally, the sofa width of a three-seater ranges from 32 to 60 inches (81 to 152 cm). 

2. Buy :

   You will need to purchase fabric from the store. If you are going for a solid colour fabric, opt for colour with a drape. 

3. Wash :

   This step might seem weird at first but you need to wash and dry the fabric before use. Sometimes, sofa fabrics shrink upon washing. I would recommend not skipping this step.

4. Drape :

   You need to make a mock design of the sofa cover. Use a cheap muslin cloth or butcher paper to sketch out your design. You can use chalk to draw outlines as well. 

5. Cut :

   With the mock drape design, cut the fabric pieces. You will need to cut the front piece, back pieces, arm pieces, and others separately. 

6. Pin:

   Pin and glue all the sofa pieces together. Just lay the fabric pieces, the wrong side out and use fabric glue to stick them together. 

7. Cover :

   Your DIY sofa cover is now ready. In case the glue hasn’t dried you can use a hairdryer to dry it quicker. 

This is all from my end on homemade sofa cover ideas. Let me know which sofa cover idea you used in your house.
