A family member today sent me a facebook screenshot that the WalMart in Washington, PA has a $1/yard fabric sale today. Maybe one near you does, too?

I checked out JoAnne's online. The duck fabric is only $6. a yd which is good, but it doesn't say if its machine washable and thats a big something critical. However, I do have a JoAnnes near by, so will stop in. I completely forgot about JoAnne's.

I've made lots of cover replacements. I just carefully removed the old upholstery and used each piece as the pattern. There used to be an upholstery factory outlet where I lived years ago, where you could buy left overs at very cheap prices. Some of the leftovers were quite large, and they also had 'last years' fabrics still on the rollers so you could get normal amounts for any job.

Try Ebay for fabric. Also, you don't have to take apart your couch for the patterns. Just drape the fabric over it, and trace along the seams with a washable marker. (I use Crayola and it comes out every time.) Be sure to give yourself a large seam allowance when you cut around the marks.
