    Fabric for mah couch.

    So, the dog chewed a hole in the brand new suede couch.

    I need to find fabric to get it fixed.

    The tag says "Flair 2570 Sage Suede"

    I don't even know where to begin. I'm in deep, as the GF paid for the couch and is pissed.

    Please help r3v. It's getting cold outside.

    Go to a furniture store...my wifey works in one and she says they can usually order any and all upholstery given that info. I'd first try the store you got it from, then if not, look for a place that does recovering or custom stuff; I'm sure they can help you out.

      Skin the dog and patch the couch with that. Both problems solved.

        Got it from a Grand outlet place 2 hours away. -_-

        It's just a cover that goes over the cushion and zips up the back. I may try the local Grand if they're open after work. I'd rather get a new cushion. I didn't know if these #'s meant something to anyone here.

        I think I'll C-list a couch to put in the living room and this nice one can go in the other room the dog isn't allowed in.

          Food for thought, you can get nice covers that dont look like covers at all...each cushion would be covered, the frame etc, and you can't tell. Target has some decent ones and furniture stores sell the best ones...that would be cheaper than a whole nother couch and protect it from the pooch.

            Here's the damage.


            I tried just flipping it, but it only goes in the couch one way.

                  That could also be the reason I'm single though...

                    ^^^ I put a similar colored comforter over it.

                    Still, have to get the cushion fixed.

                          call the store, give them whatever info they need and they will order a new cushion cover for you, trying to find the exact fabric at a random store would probably be impossible

                            Is it "your" dog? I can hardly see why you'd get blamed for the actions of a pet.

                              See other thread where gf doesn't want him to crate the dog;



                              Edit; In light of the fact that your girlfriend was clearly opposed to crate training, based on you other thread, I'd probably tell her to suck it & fix that shit herself. This is one of the many reasons that crate training works; the dog learns where to go to the bathroom, but also what is acceptable to chew and what isn't. That is, assuming the damage happened when you weren't home. If you were home you just need to keep better tabs on what your puppy is up to.
