Where can you purchase material or slip covers for outdoor furniture

I would like to purchase slip covers for my deck instead of throwing out the cushions. I wonder if anyone knows a place you can purchase them already made as throwing away the entire cushion seems to be an incredible waste.

Not sure about ready-made slip-covers, unless you go to a custom store, such as Charter House in Saskatoon, SK. However, to make some reasonably priced ones (after all, they are only rectangles), try buying shower curtains at your local Value Village. Weather resistant and they come in trendy colors!

I'm not aware of any place that sells ready-made, but they are easy to sew. You can buy the fabric and any large fabric store. I made some a while back and bought the fabric at JoAnn's.

Waverly makes a line of outdoor fabric called Sun N Shade that is UV resistant and comes in a great variety of patterns and colors. You might "surf" online to find a site that offers their fabrics at a discounted price. I frequently use a site called fabric.com and have been more than satisfied with their prices and service. Since there is no indicator as to whether or not you are in or near a large Canadian city, I can't offer any place for you to research fabric outlets in your area.

An online/catalog store called, Home Decorators Collection has new covers for patio furniture cushions in many shapes & sizes, and has beautiful fabrics to choose from if you don't want to try to sew them yourself. It's very simple straight-stitch sewing though & you can use the old covers as a pattern/guide. Sunbrella offers all-weather, fade-resistant & durable fabrics by the yard. You can buy Sunbrella fabrics by the yard at: Tubbies Water Works 2231 E. College Avenue State College, PA 16801 814.234.4566 Also Calico Corners (Pittsburg) carries Sunbrella & other brands of weather-proof, fade-resistant fabrics. They have a great selection of Home Dec fabrics & offer custom made covers too, though their custom made will be considerably more expensive than buying ready-made covers from the Home Decorators Collection catalog.

I've ordered different outdoor fabric from JoAnn's Fabrics. I've had customer's simple go online, pick what they want and order it sent to me. I've used it to cover wicker furniture and even the boat cushions for a sleep aboard boat.

There is a great site that sells outdoor fabric at a fraction of the cost of Joanns or other fabric retailers. It's called Fabricguru. I have purchased many yards of upholstery and drapery material from their clearance section and love them!

Does anyone know how much fabric I would need to cover a cushion? How much should I expect to pay for fabric?

Ikea has their "AS IS" dept which contains bins of assorted slipcovers and curtains. I covered a couch and 8 dinning room chairs for my outdoor sun room ...cost less than $40

I have another suggestion that has worked for me extremely well and much cheaper, make them out of outdoor curtains. I was able to make a canopy top for my 3 person yard swing out of 2 outdoor curtains, and some velcro strips for only 20.00 the curtains where on sale at a local Christmas Tree Shop they came out perfect and saved me a bundle....plus they are waterproof !

You could go to Goodwill and maybe find some shower curtains to cover your cushions. I don't even leave my cushions outside, I have all kinds of cats in my neighborhood that come in my yard and lay around. They upset my birds and squirrels.

I have found good deals on outdoor fabric at Fabric Guru. Watch for sales for some really great buys. Look in the fabric cellar-clearance section. http://www.fabricguru.com/ There is some help on the net if you type in making slipcovers for outdoor furniture. I would use polyester thread and not cotton.
