Shabby Slip Covers

The slip covers on our furniture in the family room were really starting to get thin and showed lots of signs of wear.   They also were kinda dingy....lol!     I always make my slip covers from yard sale sheets, bedspreads,  and fabric,  so I can change them out pretty often without spending a lot of money.    Total cost for my new covers was less than $10.  

This sofa gets lots of use and so does the ottoman.    I always keep the ottoman covered with a sheet....easy to throw in the laundry.    The only problem  I am having is that Kyleigh likes to lay on her stomach and ride the ottoman around the room like a car,  and the sheet rolls  under the wheels....lol!

My new covers are on the left......and the old ones are on the right.  

  When I made the previous clip cover   I had just found a pretty pink chenille bedspread at a yard sale.   It was pretty thin when I bought it  but it has lasted a couple of years.

The chair on the right is headed to the tea room,  but I have a yard sale chair in the garage that I can paint green and cover with a fabric similar to what I used on the sofa.

The pink and white striped fabric is a king size sheet and the floral cushion covers are made from a twin size sheet set.

I think the new sofa slip covers  coordinates better with the fireplace.

Well,  now I need to do the love seat.....maybe tomorrow!
