Sofa re-upholstering

[Greedyfly]

Helloo all, I am decorating a friends living room as a suprise but the sofa is green - will not go with the color scheme and I am on a tight budget. Any ideas for cheap re-upholstering or throws - but will have to cover the majority of sofa? Thanku

You can get reasonable throws in places like Argos or Matalan or Primark. Inexpensive and good value. Throws can be a bit of a pain though so alternative if your handyish with a sewing machine. Calico dust sheets from B&Q about �10 cut pieces roughly to the shape of sofa pin together on sofa and then sew seams. turn inside out and put back on sofa. Cheap and doesn't move as much

You can also buy affordable massive throws from 'Dunelm'. Look up their website to see if there's one near you. Have fun!
