ruined fabric

[minnie pal]

yes, ruined, had a beaut of a three seater bought recently in auction house. it had tiny red and blue embroidered flowers on a cream background.

I hand washed the cushions in cool water but the flower colours ran badly and the material shrank madly.
is there a site where i can see if the same fabric is available to make new seats for my suite?
the material does look old.

It definately has not been your month has it, you poor misfortune.
If you cant find the same fabric,is it possible to make new ones?

Hi Minnie,


The one person who comes to mind is unapam... she is always repurposing items and may be able to guide you in the right direction..

My idea would be to take the fabric into a fabric retailer... ( one of the top class ones) you dont have to buy it from them ... but they maybe able to guide you in the right direction....

here are some contacts you might be able to try...
