Camel Back Sofa

I've been kicking myself for buying this sofa....couldn't figure out what fabric to put on it... whine. bitch. moan. Then I saw this:

Go ahead, wipe the drool off your keyboard.

I decided to be one of the cool kids. One trip to Home Depot and $40 later I had my fabric. Canvas drop cloth (think about all that fabric, roughly 13 yards.... for 40 bucks!) So here she is sans fabric. I forgot to get pictures of before I had all that batting on there but.. well you know. I wish I'd gotten a pic of the roll of dacron too, I swear it was easily 4 feet across. Even smooshed up it hardly fit in the back of my car!

Padded out and ready to go!

I bleached the drop cloth for 4-5 hours. It didn't lighten up much, but after being washed it turned out to be fairly soft an nice smelling :) Also very wrinkled. I thought "Why iron all this fabric when I'll be pulling it really tight?" I found another blogger who seconded this theory of non ironing laziness. I was wrong on this and though I can't say I've ever ironed a couch before, it went really well. No really. 

I still need to make the cushion (just one cushion) and put the back piece on. Oh and the front of the arms. Then I'll make a boat load of pillows for it and...

Stenciled sofa pillows inspired a new pintrest board. http://pinterest.com/rabid_glow/sofa-pillow-ideas/

I love the "grain sack" throw pillows, but I can't stand that you can find these things everywhere, even hobby lobby. So I'm kicking around some other things. I love mattress ticking and old architecture and history and texture..... I'm trying to figure out a good mash of these things. Something that represents my interests without being gaudy or heaven forbid, clashing. Please feel free to pin onto that board!
