Slip Covers To The Rescue
When you have a great sofa or chair except for the rip or stain one of the children added, you can save it. We all hate going out to buy new upholstered furniture. It is expensive and you might have trouble finding something you like as well as the existing pieces in your home. If you bought good quality, the covers might be the only thing wrong with them. They may still be comfortable. If you have looked into reupholstering , the cost might have shocked you a bit. Slip covers may be your answer to rescuing that favorite sofa or chair.
Slip covers have come a long way since the first baggy ones that came on the market years ago. There are many on line companies selling a really good product at reasonable prices. Most slip covers are between $99.00 and $245.00 which is a lot cheaper than buying new or paying an upholsterer. If you go on line and key in “slip covers” you will get a whole list of slip cover companies to explore. Some of the best ones are: Surefit Slipcovers, Slip cover Shop.com, Before N After Slip Covers, www.custom cottage Slip covers.com, Jennifer’s Slip Covers & Custom Sewing for The Home.
Most on line companies have a choice of ready made or custom slip covers in many styles and sizes. There is a wide selection of fabrics to choose from. Jennifer’s Slip Covers has you pick your fabric from a list of companies they recommend like: JoAnn Fabrics or Haberman Fabrics, or on line fabric stores like: Denver fabrics, House of fabrics, Buy fabrics, Fabric Guru, Fabric Paradise or Green Sage Fabrics. You have thousands of fabrics to pick from this way. If you are in a hurry, or don’t need a lot of choices, you may prefer the ready made slip covers at less cost.
If your sofa or chair is good except for flattened cushions,you might try purchasing polyester quilt bats or fiber fill and wrapping each cushion before adding the new slip cover. You have choices in looks from the different companies. You can get custom fitted, semi loose or loose and casual. There are many pictures showing styles of sofas and the different choices of slip covers for them. Most good companies have measuring guides for you on their sites. You may be asked to send a photo of your furniture to get a better fit. Shipping is usually free from these on line sites.

Is there a “cheap” way to refelt a pool table and what different materials/fabrics can i use?
I am looking for an inexspensive way to refelt a pool table and need to what what various facrics can be used. No one sells felt locally – Joann Fabrics has felt that will fit, but the problem is that the felt is polyester and not a wool blend. Someone else also recommended velvet. Can I use polyester felt to refelt the table? can I even use velvet?
If a table is worth re covering it’s worth using good felt. And for sure don’t do as the other posters said and use glue.Pool table felt is NEVER glued down.Felt can be had for about $50.00 and up.Check out this link http://www.rockwellbilliards.com/pilot.asp?pg=pool-table-felt&gclid=COGw8_-H2pMCFRJPxgodtzGmSw
