By the time I priced the fabric, pipings, cushion materials, battings, etc...it was cheaper to wait for a good sale on a new one.
I have recovered a couch and an older fabric rocking chair...but the cushions and everything were in good repair and the fabrics were given to me.
I just pieced and pinned everything wrong side out... I would lay the fabric on the couch mark with chalk the cut lines, sew, pin, take in a bit, let out a bit... and worked my way through it. I got a very nice fit on both pieces, but went through a lot of fabric as usually you are working with directional prints/patterns/grain lines. I am not sure that I would tackle this again, now though :wink:
