What is it you want to know about reapolsteirng a couch?
My mom and grandma did this all the time! If they did not have decent material to work with when removing the old fabric, they made their own out of unbleached muslin. I have never had the luxury of time for a project this big yet, I have only done chairs. Here is a link for you! Have fun.
