How to reupholster attached couch cushions:

 
 
It's been a very long time since I've posted any projects, but here we go.
We have a leather couch that was peeling and becoming very messy and ugly.  
We didn't have the extra money to purchase another one and so I reupholster it.
 
To be honest, I was scared to death to start the project cause
I really didn't know what I was getting myself into. I recovered the bottom cushions a few years back, and because the back attached covers were still in good shape I left them alone.
 
 I stared at the couch for days trying to figure out what to do. Then I figured, what do I have to lose - I started cutting and then got a better idea on how I would create a new cover.  I used about a yard of fabric per attached cushion and kept the existing zipper from the old cover.
 
I'd love to hear all about your projects too.
