Buying a new sofa , you need to make sure that it lasts for us as long as possible. Its appearance is no less important than technical serviceability. To protect the upholstery of the sofa from scuffs, we need a cover or a blanket, which you can sew yourself.
Bedspread on the sofa with your own hands - master class
For sewing a pretty coverlet on the sofa with our own hands, we need a thick fabric. Its amount depends on the size of the sofa. In our case, the sofa is not very large, so we needed very little material.
We will cut out the cover directly on the couch. We throw the fabric upside down on the seat and back, have it as it will in the future look on the couch.
On all prospective places of the future seams we split the fabric with pins.
The most difficult place is the folds between the backrest and the seat on the sides. Here we will have to make the correct incisions and only after that we'll make a break. You must cut at right angles. Just before you take the scissors, try on the fabric so that it does not pull or gather. Only after this we make an incision and chop the fabric.

The sofa after the spalling of the fabric looks like this:

After that, we need to cut off any excess pieces of fabric, leaving only 1-2 cm on the allowances for seams.
Before you start to spend the blanket on pins, remove it, turn it around and try to put it on again. The cover must be free to put on and sit on the couch exactly and beautifully.
If all is well, we begin to spend it all on the typewriter, along with cleaning pins.
We left a blanket on the sofa to decorate with a frill, how to sew it with our own hands, now we will tell. Take a long rectangle of fabric, try it on the entire length of the lower edge of the veil, if necessary, stitch it from several pieces. We form the folds and immediately spend it on the typewriter. In this case they are at ours the same, equal in depth and are at an equal distance.
It remains only to attach our frill to the bottom edge of the veil. First, we chip them together with pins, and then we spend it on the typewriter.

The lower edge of the frill is sewn on the overlock or bend and we spread it on the machine so that it does not fray. We put the cover on the sofa and enjoy its new design. In a similar style, you can sew seat covers on chairs and create your own unique room design. Get a whole furniture set!
