It's a soft furnishing one. I've been looking for someone to make a loose cover for a sofa without success so far.

It's probably going to be the case that I'll have to buy a new sofa because that's more economical than using one of the interior decorating firms round here.

Could you tell me how roughly much I would have to pay for a cover (three seater scroll arm with back and seat covers) if I'm lucky enough to find an independent seamstress to do it? Thanks, Carol.

Love - Bideshi

Hi Bideshi, Hope you don't mind me butting in.  I had my sofa recovered 2 years ago and the labour was £250.  My Habitat settee was a very boxy sort of shape so very easy to cut out so I can see yours might cost more.

Thanks Clarissa. What sort of fabric was that, and who provided it?

The fabric came from Fabric Warehouse which has since closed.  It was a mustard chenille, I bought the whole roll for about £300 so the total cost was £550.

Bideshi my apolgies also for butting in.

you asked your question to Carole, am wondering if you perhaps mean Cathy? (Ladies Corner) who I believe does soft furnishings work, curtains, covers ect as her profession.

please forgive me if I'm wrong!

love & hugs

Quite right, Dell. My brain was saying Cathy, but my fingers typed Carol. Sorry Cathy, but you found me anyway. I seem to be doing that a lot these days. Aaargh!
