hiya irish rose,
i would like to try loose covers next time. u think its easier? does it use up alot more fabric? i forgot about matching patterns together aswell. i decided to take off the old covers on my armchair because it was musty and dusty and bit shabby,i might make a loose cover now to protect it.
any advise would be much appreciated
regards
