Reupholstered Couch Tutorial

Image
The Final Result  So I've been staring at my couch, hating the 7 years of stains from dog and baby, and woah-is-me-ing on be unable to afford a new couch.  But after many of my projects have turned out well, I finally decided I could do it myself!! Costs: Crypton (Trademark) fabric*- 16 yards- ($10yard)= 160 Thread- 4 spools- $15 Velcro- one package- $8 Total= $183 Lets discuss this for a moment. New couch could be around 1700 dollars, so this is a deal! I looked into having someone else re-upholster the couch- $800. So, what a steal! How could I NOT try?  Additionally, a note on Crypton Fabric .... I really wanted it. But at about $40-$60 a yard, that wasn't going to happen. Off to ebay! Oh ebay, thank you for saving the day! I found this pre-treated, spill-resistant fabric for $10/ yard, saving a BUNDLE. Hallelujiah! Here we go! Good-bye my old couch. First, roll out fabric. I don't think giving my measurements exactly will help you
