Re: Is this even possible?
Sure! That's called C.O.M. (Customer's Own Material) and virtually every maker offers that. The furniture will be priced as if covered in an entry grade fabric, the dealer will give you a yardage requirement (be sure to have the vertical repeat measurement to compute yardage), then you buy your material and take it to the dealer. Be aware that not ever dealer allows you to do this, as they don't make much of a profit on COM's. Some will, some won't. The H&M # 1667 Evening sofa requires 26.5 yards of material (plain) to upholster. At $ 40 a yard for inexpensive material, that's over $ 1,000. Its not a cost savings move to go COM, its to get something special the maker doesn't offer. Because you are paying to already have your sofa made in an entry level fabric and then have to add (and ship) your own fabric to the overall cost. When you are all done, it will cost as much as a leather # 1667.
Buy a little more material if you go this route and have an extra pair of armcaps made for the sofa (they will come with one pair).
Good luck
