How to Recover a Sofa With Sheets

Whether you have several stains or worn out upholstery on your sofa, you may want to cover it instead of replacing it, if the frame and cushions are still structurally sound. Prefabricated sofa covers do not fit on all styles and sizes of sofas and can be expensive. Save the hassle of fitting a cover to your couch and the expense by using sheets to cover your sofa.

  Drape a king-size top sheet over the back of the sofa and tuck it between the back and the seat. Tuck it into crevices where the arms meet the back as well.

  Tuck one end of a new sheet into the crevice between the seat and the back of the sofa. Let the other end drape over the seat and the front of the sofa to the floor. Tuck excess fabric into the crevice.

  Cut one sheet in half lengthwise with sewing scissors. Drape one half over each arm of the sofa. Tuck the excess fabric into crevices so the sheets are tightly pulled around the arms and the sides of the frame beneath the arms.
