Cushion cover fabric opinions

[daphnephoebe]

So I'm looking to make cushion inserts for the girls den. I've found my wadding I'll use (10oz polyester) and got all he measurements but I'm struggling to find a suitable fabric to make the covers with that aren't overly expensive.

My options are;

Towels from Tesco (they have these folded in the cage and seem to agree with the fabric and feel) - fairly cheap but could be hard and heave to work with

Fleece blankets cut up to size - most expensive but should be fairly easy to work with and easy to wash

Old bed sheets - cheap and easy to work with but worried the fabric will be too thin

Any opinions are welcome. Xx

I use fleece - do you have an ikea in your area as they have some fleece which are about £1.50.

Thanks Amy. Our closest one is 3 hours away but we're due to visit one soon anyway so I might just bump that up.

Do you have a poundland, they do fleece blankets and they are only £1.00 lol, they are nice and soft, they tend to have dog related pics on but i am sure bunny won't mind xx

We got some cheap fleece blankets to make dog bed covers from at The Range. Dunelm Mill may be worth a look as well.

The only disadvantage of fleece is that it will pick up all the fluff and hay.

How about charity shops - curtains, quilt covers, etc. Even old coats would do if you can get a big enough panel, or make a stripey one.

Thanks for the ideas.
I tried dunelm today but the only material they have is rough curtain stuff.

I'll try the range and also check pound land. Thank you
