SITTING PRETTY

Another reason to love
removable throw-pillow
covers: You can create any
pattern imaginable with
appliqués. For a high-
traffic couch, use iron-ons.
“They’re backed with glue
to prevent raised edges
that can catch on things,”
Katie says.

TIP: For extra insurance,

add a couple of stitches

where the pillows curve.
