How To Make Sofa Armrest Covers

Armrest covers are an easy way to update the look of your sofa and protect the armrests from wear and tear. They are also a great way to add a pop of color or pattern to your living room. Making your own armrest covers is a simple project that can be completed in an afternoon. Here are the essential steps on how to make sofa armrest covers:

1. Measure the armrests

The first step is to measure the armrests of your sofa. You will need to measure the length, width, and height of the armrests. Once you have the measurements, you can add a few inches to each side to allow for seams.

2. Choose your fabric

The next step is to choose your fabric. You can use any type of fabric that you like, but I recommend using a durable fabric that is easy to clean. Some good options include canvas, denim, or microfiber.

3. Cut the fabric

Once you have chosen your fabric, you can cut it to the size of the armrests. Be sure to add a few inches to each side for seams.

4. Sew the seams

The next step is to sew the seams of the armrest covers. You can use a sewing machine or hand-sew the seams. Be sure to use a strong thread that will not break easily.

5. Attach the armrest covers

The final step is to attach the armrest covers to the armrests of your sofa. You can use Velcro, snaps, or ties to attach the covers. Be sure to attach the covers securely so that they do not slip off.

Making your own armrest covers is a simple project that can be completed in an afternoon. By following these steps, you can create custom armrest covers that will update the look of your sofa and protect the armrests from wear and tear.
