Ec84-406 Take Cover: A Guide To Selecting Furniture Fabrics, Margaret Boschetti, Stephanie Gill

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

There are two general categories of furniture fabrics: those meant for use as slipcovers, and those for use as upholstery. Slipcovers are designed to fit snugly and yet be removable for cleaning.

Turfgrass is the most common ground cover. However, sites that are less suitable for turfgrass, such as slopes, steep banks, and shaded areas, can often grow other ground covers successfully.
