  • Hi Everyone!
    Today I am sharing my new tips on covering a sofa without buying an expensive slipcover. I am calling it new and improved because unlike my previous slipcover hack video using this newer method is less hassle-free and works so much better. I hope you enjoy!

    You were sent to me from my late grandmother who didn't get the chance to teach me her upholstery skills.. She was a great seamstress. R.I.P. Nanny.. My otger grandmother unfortunately cant teach me right now either because of the Coronavirus and social distracting :(.. Another great seamstress.

    When using a fabric that ravels, like denim, be certain to stabilize the raw edges so when laundered will not fray.

    I sewed a complete slipcover and struggled so much. A simple pencil mark would have made all the difference! I have to laugh now! Thanks Robin.

      I remember my first slipcover, it spent a couple months rolled up in a ball at the bottom of the closet! I was so frustrated lol. Second slipcover I started the pencil Mark's and it went much more smoothly lol

    I did this exact process with my couch and chair cushions in my Airstream. The only difference is that I used grommets instead of safety pins. 👍🏼Worked so well.

    Hey Robin, so I am a mom of 4 and I have been in a search of a truly waterproof couch cover. I have tried everything from amazon and all that i could find are mostly water resistant (even the ones that say waterproof).
    I then thought of an idea:
    My waterproof mattress covers work perfectly and are ( truly waterproof.) I have bought many especially for those night where kiddos have accidents. Why dont they make couch covers with this same material?
    Could you please make a hack to sew my own couch covers with these fitted waterproof matress covers‽
    I honestly dont care about the look, black matches everything.
    That would be amazing and a total game changer for me 🙏

    • @DarkAshes27
      @DarkAshes27 2 роки тому

    Thanks, Robin, for inspiring my after the holidays project! As a fellow "everything white" freak, I will do this with some canvas/duck cloth so it can be thrown into a bleach load if it gets dirty. How heavy is the fabric you used? How is everything holding up after a few months of use?

    • @RobinJohnsonDecor
      @RobinJohnsonDecor  4 роки тому +2

      The fabric I used is on the thin side. It is from Waverly and sold at Walmart. Seems to be holding up nicely, and wash up good too.
