no-sew reupholstery & decluttering tutes

Haven of Home has a nice tutorial on how to recover your couch without a sewing machine. Fact is, the cover wears out long before the frame. This is one thrifty skill worth learning!

I have mentioned before if you don't feel up to doing the whole job yourself you can customize ready made slipcovers by buying an extra cover to make pillowcase-like covers to slip over loose cushions.

While you are there you might enjoy following her pictorial de-cluttering.

I have noticed (through the "sitereader") that I have had several hits through your website, so I came to see why...

I didn't realize that you'd linked my re-upholstery post! Thanks for doing that!

I have recovered SO many couches for myself and friends over the years using this technique. It's fast, easy, and CHEAP.

I came to your site several months back because of someone else's link for the FANTASTIC Home management information. Thank YOU for making that available!

There isn't much that I can do, but I can share my flowers with you, and I can share my books with you, and sometimes share your burdens, too.. There isn't much that I can do, but I can share my songs with you, and I can share my mirth with you, and sometimes come and laugh with you.. There isn't much that I can do, but I can share my hopes with you, and I can share my fears with you, and sometimes shed some tears with you.. There isn't much that I can do, but I can share my friends with you, and I can share my life with you, and oftentimes share a prayer with you.
