DIY slipcover {revisit}

Caution:

Okay, now let me tell you:

first, It's not as bad as it looks.

Second, I knew I wanted a large camel back sofa.

Third, This couch was only $20!

The sofa originally was all scratched up on the back...They had a little yippie dog that liked to sit on the back .

too small to jump; he climbed.

Nice, huh?

I removed all the damaged fabric  . Then, realizing I didn't have a before picture.

This is why it looked so badly.

I replaced the ratty looking torn fabric  with some fresh clean fabric to hold all the stuffing in place.

Doing this , I [very] simply tacked the fabric  along the back and stuffed the bottom portion down underneath the foam. It wasn't going to be seen , so I didn't worry about how it looked.

However, that said, If it were a piece I was going to sell; I would do a much more professional job.

But, it wasn't. So, I didn't.

Now, I have had so many of you wanting to know HOW I made my slip cover.

I am the type of person that gets something in my mind and just jumps in and does it. With out thinking.

I'm not going to give a tutorial because it would be horrible and uninteresting.

BUT! I will send you to {slipcover heaven}
