I've reupolstered tons of chairs and couches. If you shop for the best deal in cloth and are patient you can even do a large sofa for 200 dollars or less. There are some good, online prices only, on Joann's website. Go for discounted stuff that get the holiday discount.

Ok, about how much do you think it would cost to do a large couch? it's one of those sectionals that has 3 pieces where it has that middle piece that is the curve that's small where the to long sides connect to it.

Ikea has covers for those types of couches sitting around 200-250 depending on what you want. Those guys are a PITA to re-cover and in my experience more expensive than it was worth considering the cost of the covers. Be careful moving it, those things are heavy!

Luckily I have teenage children to help.

Couches depending on if the back is done or wood or whatever could be 10 to 20 yards. Here's a little guide that can help if the shape is right. I just use a yard stick and guess. https://lifehacker.com/this-chart-shows-you-how-much-fabric-you-need-to-reupho-1686187809
If you're not super picky 20 yards of upholstery fabric can be had for 200 to 300 for 20 yards on a sale like at fourth of july going on now. But the 75 percent off sales come around again the next holiday.

Ah ok, thank you, I'm assuming it's wood because it's one of those very vintage looking couches with the tufted back and such.

Morning everyone! Thought I'd get some turkin' in before we head out to see some friends at their lake house. Doesn't appear to be much going on, so I hope everyone else is having better luck. On the bright side, I feel much better after two days of summer cold hell.
