When a new sofa appears in the house, you always want to keep its appearance as long as possible. But this soft construction, like all other furniture, loses its original appearance after some time. If there are small children in the house, then this will happen much earlier. In order for upholstered furniture to please with its beautiful appearance for a very long time, you need to take care of it in advance.
In this case, the solution may be to purchase or sew a beautiful bedspread on the corner sofa. It is sometimes difficult to buy ready-made textiles, since its parameters do not always correspond to the desired ones. Therefore, most often such bedspreads are sewn to order in the studio or by the mistress of the house herself. Since a corner sofa can have the most non-standard shape, you will have to create a pattern in stages, carefully measuring each corner of it. And here you have to choose what to sew. You can try to make a bedspread from a single piece of fabric, which will exactly imitate the shape of the furniture. Butit is best to sew capes on a corner sofa for each part separately. So you can avoid endless "sliding" of the fabric. A cape that exactly matches all the parameters of the furniture will fit it perfectly.
Undoubtedly, stylish bedspreads on a corner sofa look better, but it’s difficult to sew them, and then it’s also not easier to wash. Yes, and it is impossible to make a bedspread that is suitable for any transformation of the sofa. In this case, instead of a bedspread, it is advisable to use covers that are sewn on each element of the sofa (for each pillow) separately. Such covers are convenient in that you can sew several sets on one sofa and use them to periodically change the interior of the room. And if one of the covers gets dirty, then it is easier to wash it than a whole blanket.
Coverlets are made on a corner sofa in accordance with some rules and recommendations. Let's try to get acquainted with them. First you need to decide which product will be sewn. The easiest way, of course, is to make separate capes for each component of the sofa. And for the integrity of the product, two canvases are connected at an angle of 45 degrees. We measure those parts of the sofa that need to be protected, and make a pattern, taking into account seam allowances. Then we transfer our sketch directly to the matter and cut out the future product. We sew both canvases (not forgetting to process the edges of the seam), we hem the edges of the bedspread on the corner sofa. To prevent the fabric from slipping off the sofa, you can pull the elastic into the hem. The finished product is carefully ironed andsteam all seams. If the fabric from which the bedspread was sewn remains, then you can make covers for decorative pillows from it, which will act as an addition to the overall image of upholstered furniture.
Of course, a one-sheet coverlet is good to use if the sofa is not used as a bed at night. If it unfolds every day, a simple plaid can replace a homemade cape. It can also be used as a blanket.
If you purchased a corner sofa for the kitchen, then the material used for sewing the bedspread should be as dense as possible and at the same time unpretentious. After all, stains (especially greasy ones) are constant companions of any feast.
In addition to sewing bedspreads, needlewomen can knit an exclusive cape with their own hands. In this case, you can give free rein to fantasy. For such a case, it is best to use a hook, since the canvases made by him do not have the ability to stretch.
