Couch Recovery

When a friend's apartment was lacking in furniture, two other friends and I decided to buy an old couch as a gift and recover it ourselves. We found one in fairly good shape at Goodwill, and picked up some fabric remnants at a different second hand store. None of these pieces were big enough to cover the entire couch, so we bought up all the black fabric they had to cover the arms and the front, and picked out a big piece of polka dot fabric for the cushions. We brought it home, and after a few hours of stretching, wrapping, smoothing, tucking, cramming, and lots of stapling, we ended up with a cute black and white sofa that we were all really proud of. The proud owner loves it and plans on taking it with her to her house next year.
