We have decided to protect the seating foam with temporary covers until we decide on and source the final fabric, though I am considering keeping the temporary covers in order to make it easier to get the final covers on and off the foam. Thus this evening was spent unpicking a pair of double duvet covers which Leng picked up ridiculously cheaply at Tesco. It seems pointless buying plain fabric when we can pick sufficient in the form of duvet covers cheaper.

With the covers unpicked they were then trimmed to size and wrapped around the blocks of foam. With the raw edges folded under and pinned before being hand stitched in place.
