Abstract
A furniture cover including a sheet of material having a top side and a bottom side and being sized to cover a piece of furniture. The sheet includes a plurality of hole pairs with each hole pair including a first hole spaced from a corresponding second hole. A plurality of ties are looped through the hole pairs. Each of the ties passes through one of the first holes, extends across the bottom side of the sheet between the first hole and the corresponding second hole, and passes through the second hole. When the furniture cover is placed over a piece of furniture, the hole pairs are located at selected positions along the front and back of the piece of furniture such that when the ties are tied, the sheet is cinched into a bunched configuration. In the bunched configuration, the sheet conforms to the shape of the piece of furniture and has a fitted appearance.
