A year or more ago, I was more than grossed out by the condition of the fabric on our sofa and love seat and Ed indulged me. We went to Macy’s and bought a leather set. As is often the case for any but the most pricey leather, the cushions are not removable -- not the back, not the seats. This particular set also has the the wide pillow-like flat arm rests.

As luck would have it, we keep throws on them because we don’t want cat scratches, but this looks messy. I was told I could get slip covers with elastic that would take care of the problem. I bought one set for the love seat to test. It doesn’t work because one of the pieces must enclose the cushions and, as stated, they are not removable. So we will take that back.

Now Nadine, gtf, E mailed me that Khohl’s “has them”. Has what? I told her what was wrong. What can I find at Kohl’s that will solve my problem? The photos in the Kohl’s link she sent me don’t look any different than what I bought.

The other solution is to buy what are called “pet throws” – they look neat enough, but we all know that things slip on leather, so I am not sure.

Any suggestions, all you home makers out there?

The other bummer is that even if I find slip covers that work well, I won’t be seeing the leather look I wanted. Snarl.

And the little furries go their merry way complicating my life, and making a lot of poop they know full well I can’t sell on E bay.
