Easy Slip covers?

Question

ATM I have a tattered leather type slip cover ( I have cat who LOVES leather)

I want to make a new slip cover, I was thinking of taking a sheet and laying it over and tucking in . I have a tiny starter sewing machine but really am not good. Any ideas for making a decent low cost slip cover? I have a sectional in 3 peices and the one on it doesn't fit well anyway.

Wha i thought of doing was doing seat pillows separate in a smaller sheet (maybe cut it up so it fits and use hot glue gun on bottom) then do the whole thing separate.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

First, how bad is the cushions where u sit down. U might have to get some more batting to make them comfortable to sit on. Its a good idea to take the sheet to make the cushions but maybe try and get some material. Not all material is expensive.Try Wal-Mart section or go to the fabric store(most times sales.) But whatever u choose hear goes. Get a staple gun, nails/tacks or a hammer( glue will not last). Wrap the material tight enough . Use the staple gun or the tack method. Put them where it will stay and not notice. And for pillow cushions , basic make a seam on 3 sides, slip in old cushion or with batting and simply sew enclosure. Can't get to machine ..hand sew it close(if u cannot put a zipper on it). Good luck.
