In any case, you still have to start with the preparatory phase.

Prepare the following materials:

• Main fabric (selectable for your choice).
• Finishing fabric.
• Lining material.
• Synthetic winterizer.
• Threads - it is best to choose those that will contrast with the main material.

The next step is to measure the following parameters:

• Width and length of furniture.
• The height of the back.
• The distance from the floor to your sofa.

Tips and ideas:

• As an option - you can sew a cover for upholstered furniture from several materials. Very popular among designers is the solution when the center is sewn from bright fabric, and the sides - from plain.
• As a basis, you can use the material that is used when sewing jackets. The advantage of this material is that it already has a sintepon lining, and minus - the composition contains too much synthetics.
• When sewing bedspreads, some people do not use a lining, and such an idea is allowed. But you have to adjust the synthetic winterizer all the time, as it will cling to furniture or stray into lumps.

Important! If you don’t want to spend a lot of money, we advise you to purchase cotton fabric - it is inexpensive and ideal as a lining.

• Decor for wraps is selected depending on your personal tastes and skills. Most often, organza, embroidered satin ribbons and lace are used.

Recommendations for sewing covers:

• Before choosing material for sewing a wrap, carefully inspect the room in which it will be located. For example: a product made of expensive leather will not look appropriate in a simple interior, taking all the attention. Inorganic case from simple fabric will look with a classic and expensive design.
• If you do not have professional skills in cutting and sewing, then it is better not to choose fabric with a large ornament - you are unlikely to get the right pattern.
• It is also very important that the fabric is not wrinkled - someone will always be sitting on it with a guarantee, but you will not be able to walk over such an armchair or sofa with an iron all day.
• If you have little experience in sewing, it is best to conduct a “training” first - make a cover out of unnecessary matter. Yes, it will take a considerable amount of time, but during the process you will understand many difficulties in work.
• If the pattern of the material is small, then there is a high probability that the upper fabric will decrease in size. That is why it is important to make allowances in the amount of five to seven centimeters at the edges.
• If matter has an ornament in the form of rhombuses and squares, then it is best to draw a diagram of their location on a sheet of paper.
