After a fashion, that's exactly what I did. I started by measuring the width of the back wall, allowing a few inches away from it for the front curvature. I cut a 2x2 for that length as the bottom plate, then went around each side from there. Once I completed that I measured out from those plates to create my inside sofa dimension and followed what I had just done, then went vertical. VERY IMPORTANT: all the assembly joints were used using a Kreg Pocket Hole Jig and Kreg screws. You will not get any kind of decent stability otherwise. Also, I used 2x2 Select pine. It cost me about $1.50 a foot, but worth the extra $30-$40.
Maybe these pics will help:
