Covers for stools: purchased or made by hand?

It's hard to say right away which cloaks are better - either purchased or made with your own hands. But both those and others have their pros and cons:

• Most of the factory models of chairs and stools are already sold with a soft seat, and this is certainly very comfortable and beautiful. But the main disadvantage of the purchased products is that it is very difficult to wash the seats. Especially if they are fabric, the cleaning process lasts a few days, because you first need to clean the fabric saddle, after which it must dry thoroughly. And with frequent washing, the chair will soon fall apart, because when it comes into contact with water, the wood deteriorates.
• Probably only because many needlewomen sew cloaks on stools with their own hands. Copies stitched at home can easily be wiped off stains, since they do not attach to the stool, but hang freely. If desired, they can be removed and changed for another.
