My fear with that was that I'd end up with a leopard print vs. a lighter solid color.<br /><br />I have a slipcover that is not as light as I'd like and although everyone seems to like it, I don't. That being the case, I'll try the bleach! ;-)Melanie@TheOldWhiteCottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11836301338295623983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222684610127747768.post-36241468984990289442009-08-28T19:30:50.795-07:002009-08-28T19:30:50.795-07:00I love m y slipcovers.

I got them at Surefit and they are the faux suede, so spills and ink comes right off.<br /><br />Also, I got the kind that has a seperate seat cushion, so the tucking isn't as bad.Little Lovableshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02372045299073262480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222684610127747768.post-78035176656255574942009-08-28T11:34:09.279-07:002009-08-28T11:34:09.279-07:00I love your blog Holly!

I always stay away from the one size fits all, they never look good and are super uncomfortable to seat on.Yansyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04976602859032253160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222684610127747768.post-77061926648606897002009-08-27T12:53:31.916-07:002009-08-27T12:53:31.916-07:00I have a slipcovered sofa from PB and do love it f...I have a slipcovered sofa from PB and do love it for all the reasons you mentioned. I would, however, caution against the use of many of the one-size-fits-all type covers. I have tried them and it is difficult to get the look you see on the ads. Have you noticed how they always strategically cover certain areas with pillows or angle the sofa in the ad? The ones we tried needed to be adjusted every time someone got off the sofa.<br /><br />Sorry to sound like such a downer, but I don't want anyone wasting their money.Karen https://www.blogger.com/profile/02441070110507014088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222684610127747768.post-64311566607147818442009-08-27T11:31:09.043-07:002009-08-27T11:31:09.043-07:00Great idea on the pillow backs, Holly.

I use a surefit slipcvoer for our sofa, but bought some inexpensive matching material (cotton duck) and whipped up individual seat cushions to give it an even more custom look. It was inexpensive and only took a couple hours (I'm a novice sewer - it's incredibly imperfect). http://mckevitts.blogspot.com/2008/10/emily-takes-on-sewing-machine.htmlEmilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04793480432068543767noreply@blogger.com
