    I want to see an adult sit down on it and what it looks like when they get up.

    I used to do this with my old couches and then all I wanted to do was to sleep on them lol. Looks pretty and inexpensive way to match the decor. ♥️

    What I could never understand is why some animal lovers let dogs, cats, hamsters or any other animals in their kitchens or walk on their furniture on top of things or places that you will sit or place that you will eat from I never said I didn't like pets just not in my home

    Can you show us what it looks like each time someone gets up from sitting on it please. There is no way that its going to hold up to actual use!

    It's a good temporary fix, but constantly "re-fixing" it every time someone gets up, gets old real fast.

    I have that white blanket she used and it's not cheap..I paid over $100.00 for it..I've had it for many years and now I know what I can do with it when I put it to rest..I have recovered couches and chairs but I used a staple gun. It works much better than just tucking in

    Patti Shoemaker- I bought two king size quilts to cover my L-sectional sofa. Bottom pillows are attached. How should I cut quilts to cover sofa. Quilt is very light. Bought as they were incredible good buy and were red, color I wanted. PLEASE HELP

    Thank you. I brought my dad a cover for his sofa but the straps don’t hold it. And it slides. I’m looking at how to make it non slip

    Nice work, but once your children jump on them cushions you have to start all over again 😣☕

    Great Bay Home has some amazing slipcovers. They work great with 1 inch furniture tacks pushed into hidden areas with wood. I only need a few. Also they don’t stain. They’re having a 30% off sale today. They are cheaper than other brands but better material and shape. They also have two piece ones. If anyone is too busy to make one. Great tips though. They sell it on amazon but they’re $10-$20 more. They also have dining chair slipcovers for cheap. I’m just a customer who loves them.

    I've watched several videos on household ideas, tips, etc. I recently purchased new slipcovers for my couch and chairs. I was just looking for ideas on the best way to proceed putting them on, and found your video. I'm so pleased! No frills, no pretentious expensive fabrics, several hundred dollar couches found at their "thrift stores". Ha. I've had the resources to purchase furniture, but I've always loved the search, hunt for my perfect treasures. I really enjoyed your informative, no frills, hooty-tooty approach to having a pretty home. Thanks! ☺️

    Love it and I did the same thing with my L shape couch and chaise lounge. Except I used those velvety blankets from Amazon. I matched my blanket that I bought some years ago with a new one and it was spot on perfect. It was a no sew like yours. Great job Robin!

    What a great job Robin,I really enjoyed it. Not everyone can run out and get new furniture but everyone enjoys something looking nice.

    You've done it again, Robin! This technique is so good and your sofas look terrific.

    Wow!!! That turned out beautifully! I do love the print on the sofa, but the sheet you've chosen is perfect for your style and home! Just amazing!😍🤩🤗

    Thank you for your video. I found sheets at my local thrift store and covered my sofa and loveseat. They look great and don't budge when we sit on the couch..I did use safety pins instead of fabric pins. Thanks again!

    Such a great idea! Been needing to do something with my couches that I couldn't afford to replace. Mine are also very comfortable and still usable but the taupe fabric isn't working anymore. I also love white and cream in my home. Thank you!

    Oh, Robin, you read my mind! I have wanted to make a spillover for my sofa for so long. I have seen many videos on using the fabric drop cloths, but I am not a great seamstress! Thanks for sharing once again😀! By the way, a long time ago I watched a show where the Dude made a cover, and then put a dowel rod(he said you could use an old shower /or ? rod) tucked in the back. He said it really help keep it tucked! Moving on to your next video!! Rita
