This tutorial is for the sewing challenged buddies out there like myself. I intend to teach myself how to use our sewing machine, but our couches just couldn't wait that long. So here's how we're living with what we've got in the meantime.

Love how the dog is pretending to NOT be photobombing. What a cutie pie.

[@kimberlyelkins4964]

So cute

[@thekeyboardzone-kas]

Great idea! I will pass this on to friends who don't sew and are looking for a quick and affordable option to change their couch. Only down side to covering the darker-colored couch and pillows with the lighter-colored dropcloth is that you can see the original fabric underneath. An easy remedy for that would be to first pin an old white sheet (or cheapie new one bought at the dollar store or thrift store) to the couch/pillows first, and then pin the dropcloth in place. The white sheet will usually hide the original fabric, no matter how dark or bold. Great job!

[@phyllisjrcrestorationdecordesi]

I love your technique of covering the couch. My daughter has a sectional and she wants the Cloud Couch look. THIS technique of pinning is EXACTLY what she needs. TFS

[@DixieGirl9876]

I love drop cloth projects! I use to do this when my kids were small but with bed sheets and upholstery twist pins. It would stay on even with all the jumping they would do.

[@oheyjennymay1699]

Doing this as we speak. By far the best no sew cover video! I have four kids, 3 boys 16 on down to 6, and a 3 year old girl, and I’ve had the same sofas for like 10 years probably. Dreaming of the day it’s safe to get my pottery barn slipcover sofa ❤️😂

[@MC-dd8ls]

Love this idea! I was going to use this same method on my own couch. I'm glad I watched this first and learned how to tackle the arms. Thank you😊

[@geemarylou]

I just found your channel and I’m soooo glad I did! My sofas are 10 years old and the color doesn’t go with my decor. Like you, I don’t want to spend the money for new sofas and the sofa covers are so expensive. I never thought of using drop cloths! 😱 I’ve made my kitchen curtains out of them and now will use it for my sofas thanks to you!!! Thank you!!

[@ArtistInNewHampshire]

Your method is elegantly simple. And it is beautiful. Years ago, I attempted something similar, but I didn’t know about Terrierists! Both our rescue terriers have been incredibly attracted to pins on our sofas, and delighted in disemboweling the store bought stuffed quilted sofa covers. Returning home from work, I would find wads of the fluff dotted around the living room rug. And, pinning spare sheets onto the sofas gave them their next thrill! They located, chomped to flatten, and yanked off all the pins they could, thankfully not eating, but only spitting the mangled pieces onto the floor. The struggle is real!

[@SusanWymolaArtrepreneur]

Thank you for sharing your brilliant ideas! I had done something similar a few years ago and I had forgotten what I did. I want to do this with two very comfy wide arm chairs that are so ugly!

[@SpringsSoulfulHome]

Loved this! Thank you so much! I have a sectional that has seen better days, I have the drop cloths but have been putting this task off, thank you so much for the inspiration 😊💯

[@hctub7319]

Definitely trying this. I have a large ( old ) Norwalk sofa I can't bare to get rid of. It has such good bones. Thanks for this video 😊

[@greermonaghan5453]

Love the look! I’d love to see a similar tutorial for a no sew recliner sofa cover- although this tutorial may have given me enough ideas on how I could try to do it myself. Enjoy the videos, please keep them coming when you can!

[@thesimplefarmhouse]

Thank you so much! And thanks for watching! I would love to know if that works for you - Never tried this approach on a reclining piece.

[@lilbitliz3638]

A little late to the drop cloth party! I bought 2 on a whim months ago. This is exactly what I will use them for. I have a sectional. I love it..the color no longer goes with my design style. Fingers crossed this works on fluffy arms! Thank you for your awesome channel!!

[@keepgoin1]

Thanks for showing the original couch! Now I'm going to be looking for an old couch

[@rebbecaelder3478]

Just found your video love the slipcovets.where did u buy the dr0p clothes and how much were they.did u just put them in the washer and bleach.

[@jellyrolle95]

Great job. Your technique has a more fitted look than most of the no-sews. Thanks for this!

[@racheljolley26352]

Oh how I love no sew projects because I don’t have a sewing machine! This looks so lovely, thank you. 😊🌈

[@sislertx]

Get one...go to.estate sales and nEver pay more than 30 bucks cause walmart has basic one for like 99 bucks...then get a baby serger...usually about 99 bucks too...i wore my first one out...buy new only...they may be 150 now but worth every PENNY...i made so much stuff and a lot of money ...and i mean a lot..

[@laurence9695]

Fabulous. I just inherited a black leather couch and armchair. This is exactly what I'm going to do. Brilliant.

[@oceanwater2wave]

I am in love with the first one! Thank you for sharing!

[@rachelpadilla9368]

Thank you for the tip's. I've been looking at new couches. But with everything going on. I thought maybe I should not spend that money right now. That's how I stumbled on to your channel. Boy, am I happy I did. I'm ordering the drop cloth today. By the end of the week I should be pinning and folding away...

[@dianadivadiamond]

I've enjoyed watching your video. Very interesting way to re-upholster your furniture. Thanks for sharing.

[@francesnoerr3240]

Ty great video. I have a great sectional that lived through my 5 kids 😊 this will hold me over till I’m ready to buy. Have a great day

[@prettytinsley6297]

Bravo mama, finally something for people me who can't sew. This is amazing👌🏽

[@katie8802]

What a unique and great step by step video 👍🏻 thank you this is exactly what I was looking for!

[@Beencouraged777]

“Yes, I’m pinning it” lol, love it.😀

[@kathleenreynolds6492]

I’m a sewer and I’ve discovered that sometimes we sewers go toward the most complicated method possible! Thanks for showing a simple way to accomplish what it has taken me many hours to do- and for inspiring me to, at least sometimes, go “KISS”

[@mamacamano7507]

I 100% agreed with you!

[@marybradley168]

Hi Laura! New subscriber. Love this tutorial. I will be checking more of your videos. I really like the way you use the drop cloths to cover your sofa. Blessings and take care. Mary

[@prophetesspinki1]

Thank you so much, I was going bonkers trying to figure out how to cover my chair within my budget

[@margaretpalmer9484]

Me too slipcovers are too overpriced.

[@hausofcards2589]

Me too 😫

[@monicaramos3781]

Honestly I can’t see either. I use to in high school but have forgotten how to do this is perfect for me. Our sofas are just a few years old but they are grey and I want to change up the colour a little so this is a great idea to change up the look. Thanks for sharing this video!

[@debrabell2563]

I have a chair in my motorhome i was going to cover, this method will work great!😊thank you great look❤

[@kriswilson3334]

That is my exact couch I have. Color and all. Have been trying to figure out how to cover it at a reasonable price. Thanks

[@thesimplefarmhouse]

It served us well, but it has seen MUCH better days, haha.

[@ellef4812]

This WAS my exact couch too! I just bought new furniture because ours was about 13 yrs old and well worn. I probably would have tried this before buying new had I seen this first. How crazy we all had same couch! The arms were even stained and well worn like this one. Gave to my nephew and should pass this video onto his wife. 😊

[@beckyann8502]

Your channel popped up in my feed. I love it! Will subscribe looking forward to more 💖

[@crystalonwenu402]

Thank you so much for this video. This is exactly what I wanted to do but all I saw on KZbin was people taking the couch apart and I just knew it wasn’t necessary. So thank you for the video❤️❤️❤️

[@my2cworth4U]

Very clever. I have a lovely heavy white doona cover that's about to become a recliner cover. Thanx for the motivation. ❤

[@bethmulligan2588]

Thank you for this...I was just about ready to drop $150 for 2 king size quilts ( the 2nd 1 basically for the 2 matching shams...) I wanted grey's & yellows so this will be a perfect canvas for the corset I may be in the mood for at the moment. Ordering drop cloths now!!!.(& pins!)

[@Christie-gp2cy]

Awesome job, I am duly impressed! I always admire anyone who can come up with great DIY ideas on a budjet. LOVE IT. That being said, I just subscribed . Love your sweet dog Lucy, she is beautiful. Thanks for sharing, look forward to next one. Cheers:)

[@shannontemple6716]

This is such an awesome method. I am going to use it. I have 10 yards of cotton duck fabric. Oh yes, I will have to purchase a gazillion pins. Cheers!

[@LoveU1st]

Lucy knows she's just adorbs times a zillion! She gave perfect 😲 I wasn't prepared to be on camera today, my perfect fur is just a mess😘 She's a total ⭐

[@bettyhouk8727]

I have 5 dogs two kinda large size 1 medium size 2 small size dogs ! All are pretty much couch potatoes especially with this civid-19 ! No doggie park for a while ! I love using drop cloths to cover furniture ! However your tutorial made the whole project so much more simple ,even I can do that and come out with a neat looking couch 🛋 ! As you say we live in our house and the furniture is well lived on ! oh and I forgot we have 3 cats 🐈 also ! I am 83 and my Daughter is 65 ,so the easier and simplest way is so helpful to us , so Thank you for sharing your wonderful idea 👍👍👍👍👍👍😸😺😻✌️🐕‍🦺🐕🐶🐶🦮. I subscribed to your channel and the bell ! Blessed Be you and family ! And Blessing Be to everyone !

[@heyyou9996]

That's such a clever idea with the dropcloth idea. Thank you. 😎

[@joanafilpo5432]

been loooking for sectional slip covers and they are all too expensive or have terrible reviews PLUS this looks so nice. thank you for this

[@cocoablossom5201]

I've done this with couches, but have a hard time with the wing back chair. I've been trying to avoid buying slipcovers for them because the fabrics dont seem nice. I made a pattern, but it just got too cumbersome. I'm gonna try again with the drop cloths :)

[@tikkalove3955]

What are awesome video thank you so much for showing how to do this. Your video deserves more likes than what it has at the moment, im sure you will have more. I'm definitely going to use your method is the best one I've seen so far on KZbin

[@shericreates]

I can't help but notice the mural behind your dining room. Do you have another video on it or show it better? It looks really beautiful from what I can see. I'm so glad I saw your idea. This is exactly what I want to do. Thank you.

[@Beck-rv7xr]

This is perfect! So glad I stumbled on this 🙏🏻

[@MO-cu9uc]

Your house and property are so beautiful 😍😍

[@mariawelling4194]

She did an amazing job! Love it!

[@jlloeppke]

I love this!! Running out to get going. Thanks for sharing!

[@joann5157]

So much easier than sewing actual slipcovers. Thanks!

[@springyoung7180]

Love this video ! Don't know if anyone knows but family dollar stores actually have exactly same cloth drop cloths same color as Lowe's or anywhere for only a dollar each !!! Just a tip to get the drop cloth cheap very cheap ! I love this video though so easy I'm definitely using your method for my over expensive sofa I can't afford the slip cover replacement on my sectional so I'm doing drop clothes from family dollar for a dollar each I hope looks as good as your sofa

[@danae1326]

never thought of using pins, but I have used hot glue, which enables you to pull it smoother and tighter. It is more permanent than pinning though. Great idea!

[@michedaisy]

This is perfect! Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

[@murielpreston4193]

I think you are quite creative and resourceful; this is wonderful! I've seen Zara Home do even easier just hang over sofa covers. 🙂

[@susanswinskey8573]

Thank you. The answer to my couch problem!

[@julietierney2516]

Thanks for this. I have really nice furniture that I have to cover up because of my cat. I don’t know why they haven’t invented a heavy stretchy kind of fabric. They are either too stiff or too thin. I have covered with drop cloths, but they look messy. I’ll give this a try!

[@suzannegrace9006]

Glad to see this I'm going to bleach my drop cloths and do this

[@maidgls]

This’d has a good night with me tomorrow andand was a great night to work on the night and night with my new friends tttt night withjjhttt night ùwwq

[@olgacruz7198]

PS i subscribed, thanks for making life easier

[@TheGrandma50]

That was super cool thanks for sharing I'm going to try this way

[@barbarakirby2740]

Thanks for sharing, I have been wanting to try this!

[@fiyenalison7146]

Wow genius idea here. Thank you so much.

[@simpleme5719]

I wish you were able to bring the drop cloth down ( back rest area ) tuck it under and staple gun it down. I like your idea,great money saver,yep your a mom. I may use Velcro and make the cover for the pillows,like a pocket. You have given me so much idea 😉 Thank you.

[@sarahcurrence7642]

I definitely recommend using stitch witchery or a no sew bonding tape. You can even add an elastic with no sew on the skirt for around the bottom. You could do the same with the seat cushions so you don't have to pin. Go a step further and add double sided velcro cut your fabric to the exact shape as the front of the arms then stick them on last. Plus it would make it easier for when you wash them and have to put them back on. Great idea though. Especially if you love the shape of your furniture and it's still comfortable.

[@sarahcurrence7642]

You can also use the white linen table cloths for a lot a stuff too. They get softer with every wash. Yet still hold their shape.

[@vidanaps714]

Thank you so much for your genius technic on no sow ever need it ! I’ll don’t have sowing machine and I’m a phobi sewing machine same time 😂🙏🏽🥰😘

[@scarv918]

Thanks for this! It looks great. What size safety pins did you use?

[@lorijakuc5719]

Great tutorial! Very clear🤗

[@sujiibrahim2497]

I’ve been watching a lot of videos and you can get pins called up upholstery pins. Looks brilliant ❤

[@LifeonGreenwoodwithCaron]

Just found your video! Thanks for the tips! I needed this! I'm about to cover a sofa and loveseat and I don't mind a little DIY. I do them all them time on my channel, but I've never done slipcovers. I like your results...both methods for the arms. New supporter here. Hope we stay connected! Take care and be blessed!

[@LadyV757]

Drop cloth! Genius!

[@AGee2217]

I love it! Thanks for sharing!

[@Christie-gp2cy]

This project is very impressive. Your tutorial is excellent. I am vision impaired and it was easy for me to follow along. I am curious as to what size drop cloths yu used. They are sold in several different sizes, not sure which is best. Thanks for a great video.! Blessings to all

[@1983pjb]

Also, can you recommend a washing/drying method?? Thank you.

[@naturewalkswithbelindaann2503]

I love it so much.❤️ Great job 🤗🤗🥰

[@KaliG01]

LOVE THIS! I’m pregnant and was wondering what I could do before the baby gets here because messes are coming our way lol Thanks for sharing

[@lucy1231]

Cant wait to do this

[@charlenebolduc8346]

This is beautiful. Any suggestions for a sofa that has the back pillows and seat cushions attached?? I’m not even sure where to begin. 😢

[@lavonaturner7691]

That was AWESOME!!!!!

[@cheriwhitley8385]

New sub .li bought friggin slip covers for our new couch and loveseat so they don’t get messed up and they don’t look as good as what u have done..and they rd the farmhouse look slip covers.lguess I’ll b doing it your way now..looks better and has a more comfy look..farmhouse or beachy it works,lthx

[@LucGPTnki]

she uses 4' x 12' panels, according to response listef elsewhere in the comments

[@Christie-gp2cy]

Excellent turorial! I am going to try this on my porch sofa cushions. Your dog Lucy is so cute, she loves hanging out with her Mom. I am subscribed but have not received any notifi9cations (must be a KZbin issue?) I will continue to check out your videos anyway. Thanks for sharing, you have great ideas! Blessings to all

[@1983pjb]

Thank you for sharing! Awesome 👏

[@mamacamano7507]

Thank you for this idea, I got a free recliner sofa and i want to cover it!❤

[@ramonawalker5473]

Very unique application...in panels and pieces as needed. Clever and fits well.

[@KadilakHomes]

Looks amazing!

[@WakandaBabe]

I did try this method on a love seat. I live alone so I'm the only one that uses the love seat. I will say that at first it looks nice but over the months it does not hold up. The pins do not hold the fabric in a stable fashion. I will say that this gave me the idea that I could cover my love seat with this fabric but I will use a staple gun for some parts with a little sewing instead of safety pins.

[@b.marcelo2974]

This is Brilliant ! How many packs of cloth did you need for one sofa?

[@seemamajid855]

So chic and farmhousy, please tell me how many drop cloth panels you need for the big sofa? Thanks in advance.

[@lamonarankin5504]

I am trying to cover my mother's sofa I inherited from long, long ago. Your idea and demonstation was so helpful. I am not certain which size dropcloth or how many. My mother's sofa is about 8 ft long. Would you be able to recommend how many and what length drop cloth? It has two cushions. Thank you for posting the video!

[@heartslessons6243]

You did a good job.

[@tinabraxton4906]

This is brilliant.

[@candycaneandpumpkinspice7760]

Soooooo helpful wow thankyou so much, couch covers are so expensive

[@heyyou9996]

On my God that dog is so fricking cute! Please make a video of you making and fitting any kind of material for Lucy so she can prove she's a star. Or just get her to make her own videos...have for bones, a hat a Lucy scarf and a special soft pillow sweater bed cover.

[@annedwyer797]

Very impressive! However, I'm always skeptical of using bleached or unbleached linen, cotton duck or cotton drop cloths for upholstery. I'm by no means a big neat freak, but I would think that with such a light color, you'd have to wash the slipcovers several times a month!

[@teresadavis6909]

May I ask what and where can you find the drop cloth fabric you used?

[@judithwilliams5185]

I am having trouble figuring out what sized tarps to buy. Does the fabric shrink much? I am covering a sofa bed. I love this idea. The couch comes with the rental so I don’t want to spend a lot on a slip cover. Ok I did some measuring and decided what sizes I need and it comes out to $120. I haven’t done any sewing for a while. Is this a good price?

[@pauliwhitworth7612]

I would love to do this with 4 slipper chairs that I have. Do you think that is is possible?

[@samanthaconn8974]

Loved this

[@ramlinshoes]

Good idea using drop cloths and then sewing it for a real slipcover look. Can’t be that hard.

[@JakairaUrena]

What size panels did you use? Did you measure out your couch? How many panels did you use on yours?

[@user-mr4kh4zw9f]

I love this ! How many panels do you use ?

[@wandaandrew6633]

I love this..beautiful..🌸💗🌸
