It's like a liner they used on the kickpleat only, not on the body of the slipcover. But it's got me thinking if the lining shrinks but the fabric doesn't it will not lay right. Any suggestions?

I have four kids and am not always right on top of all my cleaning. :) Anyhow, I was just wanting to clarify...you bought a Lee sofa and then had a slipcover made for it? When we get our next house I really want to invest in a nice quality couch and love to recommendations from others.

It was a remarkably good fit. I have made blue denim slipcovers before but thought I would try the IKEA one and it is just a tiny bit short. The chocolate Lab hair drives me crazy (and family often eats in the family room) but I love that it can be washed and bleached or Oxi'd, and look great and smell fresh. Lately I have been keeping a king size white sheet loosely over it to keep it fresh a bit longer, and just whip it off if we have guests or to wash.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11533933625825629350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1715033476859637506.post-88760817596582142892012-02-08T14:24:08.046-08:002012-02-08T14:24:08.046-08:00You're preaching to the choir in my case.
