underneath,placed the cushions on top, folded over and tucked in the excess. It fit very well. I have
two throw pillows which match the original couch. I'd like to cover them with a heavy vintage 1970's green table cloth. That earthy green rough cotton will look great with this couch. That's a project for another week.

The lounge looks great. Last year we bought a new couch and chairs and we were only able to get cream coloured covers. I knew then that they would be impossible to keep clean with my clan so we bought some blue fabric to cover them. I haven't got around to doing them yet but I think I should these holidays.
Thanks Therese. You know you just gave me an idea! I could have dyed this cloth with Rit powdered dye. It's a very inextensive dye in the U.S. I think you can do it in the washer, if I could fit the cover in it.
I like the natural color, but it's an idea if I want to change the color.
My two year old ran off from the table yesteday and got tomato sauce on the couch. I sponged it off right away, and it cleaned up well. The fabric must have a natural coating because it resists stains.
I think there is also a spray coat, Scotch Guard here in the states, which makes the fabric stain resistent.
I like cream colored sofas, but you are right...not so practical with children. I bet they will look nice with the blue. :)
We have scotch guard here too. I didn't really think of it though when we bought the couch. I will take some photo's when we finish it and put them on my blog. The fabric I got for the couch matches in really well with the curtains even though I bought them at different times.
