A friend from our homeschool group does this for a living. It's a lot of work and about half the cost is the fabric. We bartered when we got a hand-me-down sofa from my brother (I can count on maybe one hand the things in my house that are new - everything is either hand-me-down or dh made it). Dh and his dad built stairs in their new workshop in exchange for the labor to recover. It still cost $300 worth of fabric.
