hi u need a length of underfabric which the cheapest material would be hessian or canvas or offcut heavy fabric and u need some stuffing to replace patches u just unroll this over the sofa cover with hessian and get a staple gun to staple the edges down then whatever fabric u like staple that over it and make pouches for cushion covers even with velcro so u can wash them in the machine u can hand stitch these in big easy stitched and so long as u do all the stitching and stapling out of sight it looks grand i did this once but no photos u can look it up on u tube there are lots of videos. as i did it all in a hurry and on the cheap with fabric i found had begged and borrowed my only expense was stuffing fabric in a roll thread and the staple gun. dirt cheap and looked as good as new. it seems a mystery to mortals but im no handy man and found it pretty easy. dont pay a grand anyway thats a load of whatsit!!!
