Great video. Thanks for breaking it down so specifically. So many tutorials gloss right over that. Curious why you chose not to remove the first layer of fabric?
Thanks for your channel. I’m about to tackle my sofa and loveseat slipcovers you taught ❤️

Hi. Thank you so much for this tutorial. So very helpful. Tried using your link for recommended fabric and it is no longer available. Any other similar you recommend for sofa upholstery? Thank you.

4:52 awl (tool) is indeed used in leather working/shoe making. BUT was also (and is still) used in historic clothing costumes design sewing. From far before the Mediaeva times. To make lacing eyelets in clothing and especially in stays/corsets to tread your lacing ribbon through. Because an awl doesn't break the fabric fibers - but pushes them away to create a hole. Which is better for the durability of your garment fabric. And those eyelet holes you finish by sewing around the hole to make it even stronger against wear & tear. ✌🏻😊
