Some context: I am 21F. I have always been a crafty person and I have some basic sewing experience but Iโve never reupholstered anything in my life. I have a couch in my apartment that my mom bought off of FaceBook Marketplace for $50 about two years ago. It didnโt LOOK great when we bought it, but it mostly in good shape physically, and I was covering it in pillows and blankets anyway. I absolutely love it; itโs so comfy and sturdy. However, the fabric is really degrading. Itโs looking worse and worse, and since I only ever sit on one side of the couch, that cushion is severely flattened. I want to try and reupholster it by myself, but Iโm worried Iโll ruin it. It only cost $50, and I canโt help but wonder if the cost materials will be more expensive than just buying a new couch second-hand. I really love it though so Iโm not sure what to do. Any advice would be appreciated.
