I have a 3 seater sofa that reclines at either end and the middle seat is stationary. After reading all the posts it doesn't seem like anyone has addressed this. Is there a chance that anyone can help me find a cover or pattern for one? The leather is peeling. It really needs a cover.

We had a family member who gave up on this very issue and used sheets that matched his decor to cover the sofa when he had company and just leaves it go when it is just him. Eventually he will get a new one, but it is not in the budget at the moment.
Supposedly there are covers like this one that are super expensive and work to allow you to recline, but no one we know has that kind of money for covers...so we can't verify if it works or not:
There are much cheaper covers for the three ups that are stationary and don't let you recline, but that defeats the purpose.
If you are super industrious and a good seamstress, you could take the thing apart, use the existing leather as a pattern and make new....my friend who took a class to do this at our community college found it very difficult and she gave up (hers was a chair) (and she is not a quitter). I think she ended up a few years later, she did finish it, but used fabric not leather since leather and leather products are a pain to work with. She then decided she hated it and got rid of it...which I find is frequently the case with new DIY projects.
There are a few really good seamstresses on this site, so I will defer to them as they may know a better solution or have found purchased products that are affordable and work!! Will look back for other responses!
If I were you I would cut some material and either use elastic to secure it to the cushion or just staple it to the bottom of the cushion
Hi,
I found this page which describes in detail how to measure fabric for a slip cover. I love slipcovers, they are so beautiful!

I hope this helps and wish you a great evening!

It will be costly to buy a slip cover over a new chair. I would use any left over blanket or sheets to put over it. :) Or look into if you can spot treat the section and reupholster.
