mykdsmomy Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I scored these really pretty couches from Craigslist the other day. They are down filled (if that helps) and some of the cushion covers have rips. I was thinking of getting some fabric and patching the holes but what type of fabric do I get? Is there a special adhesive I could use instead (I don't sew well at all) Any ideas? Thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helena Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 That's a fairly common pattern, I bet you could find something similar. It could be a sort of shabby chic look with a mix of English florals. Can you use fabric from the undersides of the cushions and put a different one on the bottom? If you don't sew maybe a good iron and heavy duty fabric glue to put it together? Slip cover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest inoubliable Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Slipcover. If you're not down with sewing, just get a nice slipcover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykdsmomy Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 I'm going for the shabby chic look :) I don't mind patching it with a similar or contrasting fabric. I love the design so I don't want to slipcover it. I'm going to try to get to the fabric store tonight and see if I can find something. I want to protect it before the holes get bigger.
