Slip cover patterns are readily available at craft stores, however the difficulty of which will depend on sewing skill as well as the style of sofa to be covered. Fabric must be chosen carefully as inexpensive fabrics made for other uses will not hold up as well as upholstery fabrics.

It is often very easy to make a slipcover. Remove the old slipcover and rip it apart at the seams to create a pattern. Sew the pieces together on the sewing machine.

You'll need to purchase a lot of muslin cloth and sofa fabric. It is challenging but if you have experience sewing complicated projects you should be fine.
