Wanted: Karlanda 3-seat Sofa Cover. New or gently used. I'm not sure about all the color choices, almost any color beside the one I currently have which is lindris grey.
Will pay shipping for U.S, dont think I can afford international. . .

I know it's a hard to find item, so I'm not crossing my fingers

Thx
Ashley

Ashley,

I'll suggest 3 options:

1. A nice IKEAFans will sell you hers/his at a discounted price and all will rejoice.
2. You dye/bleach yours. Not sure why I haven't thought of this sooner, maybe because yours is gray and it might be easier to change colors than, say, red.
3. You fork out the $ for one from Bemz Bemz |. Lots of color/fabric choices. Not as inexpensive as you might like.

Another option: if your local IKEA store has some Karlanda chair covers, buy them and saw them together.

Hi

Please excuse my poor English, i´m writing from Denmark.
What a funny site.
I´m also lacking a cover for my karlanda 3-seater sofa, and bemz is rather expensive. I am considering to sew one myself. I am going to cut up the existing covers for the pillows and use them as patterns. Then I am going to make a cover for the sofa itself by following a book, which describes how to make a kind of dress for a sofa. I hope my sewingskills will be adequate

[Yelhsa]

Ahh, your english is very good!
Good idea. . .I wish I could sew a new cover, but I know if I started it, I would probably never finish it because I'm always of time. Hope it comes out good. Post some pictures if you can.

Hi
I not exactly a handywoman, and both lacking time and a sewing machine. I am going to ask the seamstrees who normally fix my trousers.

hi
I was just checking bemz.com. they have created a cheaper and less exclusive version of their slipcover. It only costs 109$ as opposed to 285$

[bergalaura]

I am in the process of sewing three chair covers to make 1 3-seater sofa. Will post pictures when it's done. I cannot find the "cheaper and less exclusive" Bemz slipcovers, do you have the exact link for them?

Thanks

Hi
It isn´t easy to discover. When you look at the slipcovers offered go to the bottom and a type called "Bemz basic cotton" will show . It´s not available for all models.
