Fabric For Slipcovers

Is there a quick / easy way to make sleeves?
For someone with little or no sewing skills? My friend has a sofa and sofa two places where the fabric is not very good but the furniture is in good condition. I found this huge bolt of cloth very cheap, so I thought I could be able to do something with it. The problem is that none of us have that kind of sewing skills. Both pieces are against the walls so it will not be a problem (back). We also have a lot of elastic cord in different sizes to help keep things in place if necessary. Anyone have any ideas?
Doing covers is not easy, especially if they have no sewing skills. All I can think of is trying to cover furniture upholstery by the type of wrapping as a gift by the fabric covering on where you sit from the plant on the putting arm on the side of the cushion, the cushions, tucking behind cushions, (abdomen in 8 to 10 inches of fabric) to the armrest of others in the abdomen and drape over the arm rests on the floor and fabric cut to ground level, making that the material reaches the floor in front of the sofa, remove and hemmed at the bottom. Put it back on the sofa and fold the excess fabric on the arms in a triangle, double and PIN or upholstery tacks in a row, then wrap the sides below the arms to the back and PIN through common pins. (fold in the fabric to hide the edges) http://missourifamilies.org/learningopps/learnmaterial/tools/toolsjb/tools400/pinssqrl400.jpg http://willows95988.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/01/22/ frenchantiquechair.jpg Drape the remaining tissue on the back of the sofa, pin along the back and abdomen behind the cushions (8 -10 inches) and shall conform to the back and PIN. Then untucked either side of / behind the cushions and hand sewing the two together and pull back (You can turn every 3 to 4 inches instead of sewing the entire width) The best way to keep it in place is to put a long wooden dowel in the crack where you saved the plot behind the cushions and shorter at the sides. http://www.premierwood.com/ShowImageCache.asp?ImageID=22357&ImageName=3% 2DWOOD% 2D12%% 2DDOWEL 2DI22357% 2EJPG
