I need suggestions on how to cover my Chaise lounge.?
Hi everyone thanks for stopping by.
I bought an antique chaise lounge, with the intention that I was going to re-upholster it. However I didn't know it was so expensive to re-upholster. Does anyone have any suggestions on cool ideas of how I could cover the current fabric it has now, but without it looking cheesy :) Any suggestion is appreciated.

I wish you had posted a picture of it, so I could get a sense of the style of the chaise. I reupholstered my antique chaise for $350 labor and the fabric was actually more expensive than the labor. That being said, you could use a throw, you could make a slipcover for it or have some made to custom fit it.
I made a slipcover for mine because upholstery was to high priced.
I made a paper pattern of the top; cut two , one for top and one for the bottom
then measure the part that goes between the top and bottom and how far around from starting point to finish
Add your 5/8 inch seams on all the piece,s . Put a zipper in the back where it doesn*t show. You can buy foam just about anywhere by looking on line, even a twin size foam mattress is cheaper than upholstering. Good Luck.
