Step 1: Make the Dress’s Outline On The Sofa Cover

A single sofa comes with two pieces of covers that are typically curvy at the bottom. Choosing these covers will help give a nice shape to your outfit. Take both the covers and place one cover on top of the other, so their front sides appear inward. Take an old dress and use it to make an outline.

Step 2: Cut The Outline And Stitch The Dress

Make the outline, including the neckline using an old dress. You can choose from any designs, including scoop neck, V-neck, round neck, or even tube style, to get a bold look. Use a pair of scissors to cut the outline and sew it using the sewing machine.
