When I bought my last sofa, loveseat, and chair, I wanted to cover some existing foot stools with matching fabric. Luckily the furniture store had yardage available. I decided to buy enough with which to make arm covers, too. Matched the pattern and the welt inset in the front of the arms. Rebecca is right; they do slip. After many years of straightening the covers, I finally bought the spiral pins to hold them in place – if only I could remember where I put them…

I’ve done reupholstery for my own furniture, and I believe as you do, that “making arm covers is something upholsterers just do”; be they amateur or professional upholsterers. It just seems like they should be part of the package.
