Love it
Love it all specially the cushions. What I do is check in with upholstery shops and buy their out of date fabric swatches books. Perfect for cushions, patchwork etc...(Aw s*** now I have let out my secret and there will be a run on them and prices will go up ..and and and...ah, who cares. ...Plenty for everyone and otherwise they go in skip.
I have seen these in charity shops too and apparently NO ONE ('cept me) buys them (according to staff) I must put up a before and after of these books and the cushions I made from them. Keep 'em comin' Minnie pal. I am getting ideas from these. Cheers...unapam
Update: here are some of the swatches I have at moment. I am planning on making a cushion cover from the light coloured piece in 2nd pic. The romote control in pic is to show scale of size of piece.
So consider this the Before picture and if I ever get 30 mins of free time I will run up a cushion and show it here.
I can put up a tutorial of how to do it too if anyone is interested (and I have another 30 mins free to do so of course)
I have posted some of this fabric to give away in the Misc section
