If there's a Barbie in your world I'm sure you're familiar with the 1:6 scale furniture at Dollar Tree. It's affordable and fun, and... Brightly colored:@) I spray painted mine black a long time ago. I thought we'd add a little somethin-somethin' to Ken's Philadelphia Eagles Fan Cave... This Sofa Cover is a one piece, no-sew project that can be made out of pajama material, felt, or maybe recycled old sweats. Stiffer felt will require a little bending or shaping to help it lay as needed, but a few glue dots would help (on non-painted furniture).
Ken's Fan Cave: This room is always changing and being re-arranged for pics and seasons, but I wanted to show how it looked for the last Super Bowl:@) I love the football throw pillows, they are a cute touch. That fabric is still available at Walmart. Aquarium plants make easy dollhouse greenery, and the kiddy table bean bag chairs, or pillow seats, are party favor hacky sacks.
The original dollhouse room:
Scroll up, Better???
Ken thinks so:@)
The Sofa Cover: I used pajama material, and of course the fabric could be any color or design. It simply drapes over the sofa back and arms. My dolls are pretty much divas and only pose for pictures:@) For kid's doll play, you'll want to secure the fabric with some glue dots or use spray glue for a more permanent cover. ~Love the spray glue idea, spray the fabric, not the couch:@) And push that back crease in before glue sets (where the back meets the seat).
To Paint Furniture: Wipe plastic down with rubbing alcohol and allow to dry well before spray painting.
I purposely kept the pattern size to an 8 x 11 page. If you have extra fabric you could cut the back and arms longer if desired. Extending them by about an inch would help with the drape.
My inspiration from a sale catalog:
I made a Dollar Tree Chair Pattern too...
The chair is a sewing project.
The $1.25 furniture,
it comes in different colors.
My couch was purple:
Ken says, thanks for stopping by,
but now if you'll excuse me...
It's time to get comfortable for the game:@)
🏈Make something just for fun, and
Have a Happy Day:@)
Wow this turned out great and thanks for the pattern...always like filing away a new pattern. And, your rooms are coming along---so well...cushy digs for the gang. Hugs, Sandi
