        That's amazing @cactus_girl, I admire your stamina. I once covered a sofa back in the early days of my first marriage when we were stoney broke but swore I'd never do it again!!

          That looks really good @cactus_girl . Well done you - and I like the fabric too.

          Ours are a well known British make which used to have a store in a posh suburb of Brussels where loads of Brits and Yanks lived. The store closed after the 2008 crash and I can't remember who they are now so it's either new sofas or new covers. The latter will be a mammoth task of which I suspect I'm quite capable but not sure I want to start.

                          When I went to the dentist a while back she asked if I wanted a badge to say I was good.:biggrin:
                          I hadn't got a clue what she was on about and felt a bit silly when she explained.:redface:
