Hey Robin, so I am a mom of 4 and I have been in a search of a truly waterproof couch cover. I have tried everything from amazon and all that i could find are mostly water resistant (even the ones that say waterproof). I then thought of an idea: My waterproof mattress covers work perfectly and are ( truly waterproof.) I have bought many especially for those night where kiddos have accidents. Why dont they make couch covers with this same material? Could you please make a hack to sew my own couch covers with these fitted waterproof matress covers‽ I honestly dont care about the look, black matches everything. That would be amazing and a total game changer for me 🙏
@DarkAshes272 жыл бұрын
oh and if they are able to slip off easily to throw in the wash would be a huuuge bonus!

When using a fabric that ravels, like denim, be certain to stabilize the raw edges so when laundered will not fray.

Thanks, Robin, for inspiring my after the holidays project! As a fellow "everything white" freak, I will do this with some canvas/duck cloth so it can be thrown into a bleach load if it gets dirty. How heavy is the fabric you used? How is everything holding up after a few months of use?
