A little while ago I bragged that once I covered the cat scratches with flea market doilies, Solomon lost interest in the sofa as scratching post.

Well, turned out, he just moved it south.

this is genious! i'm on a quest for doilies, however, by the time i'm done i think i will have covered an entire sofa and two chairs...and then there's the coffee table and, well basically all wood surfaces...there is no end in sight!

I know exactly what you mean, I sometimes think that if I were to take away my furniture, all the embellishments would stay fixed in space and I could still sit down and read a book and drink some coffee. It's hard to know exactly when to stop!
So looking forward to the next Teeny Tiny art show!

Love it! For those of us who want to save our beloved sofas with the same technique, how did you affix the doilies?

Cheetah-I'm so sorry-your comment got swallowed up in the Flickr abyss! If you're still there-I just stitched them with thread that matched the sofa, with a curved needle and the blanket stitch-

Wow, clever idea! I just "googled" cat scratched couch cover ideas and your photo came up! Unfortunately, my couch set is a taupe suede that Cinnamon, my cat "adores"! He's ripped the arms and we've tried all the usual tricks. I think I'll try to find a patterned fabric to "imitate" yours. THANKS for the inspiration!
