have a nice leather sofa, but is worn in spots. it's still very comfortable. how reasonable is it to have slip covers made?
thanks

    Hi wmilicent

    We never recommend slip covering leather. The leather is usually so smooth that the fabric going on top of it has nothing to grab onto and it ends up becoming a slippery mess. It can be done though just make sure you have a good quality upholsterer or seamstress who has experience in custom slipcovers.

    I have someone experienced in making slipcovers, do you suggest wraping the sofa in something like thin foam before making the covers?
