fabric and boobs

Think of that, on this:

Or, I may do a dark rose (dark pink) chenille.

That image is from this web site: indias & polynesia, which I got to by going here Pretty Pinks, Clever Cottons: 18th Century Fabrics. I’m really into period pieces. Not as much as my ex-roomie who ended up studying textile design. She started as a simple craft queen and erupted into a professional textile designer/artist extraordinaire. But I really like period pieces, costumes, etc. I have some antique silk, French, at home. I’m so in love with it I’m afraid of using it to upholster the green chair. Recently during a historical trivia moment, I caught myself thinking: I could figure out what year Lindbergh’s child was kidnapped if I could remember what his wife was wearing in the photograph. I’m not kidding.

Also, I’m wearing a button down shirt and people keep looking at my boobs.

The old roomie

Hi Anna. I love that chair. If your silk is antique, it might be a little delicate for upholstery. Maybe make a couple pillows out of the fancy silk and find something a tougher for the chair? I saw a fantastic chair in an Anthropologies store that got me all hot to find an old chair and get it recovered: See page VIII-IX

Yeah that chair was free on the street back in my old nieghborhood. I love how it's very low and has a long thigh area.

Not doing myself-oh no. It's like 100$/yard for the silk stuff, and 20$/yard for the chenille, so budget may make the decision. If I do it myself it looks... like I did it myself.

looks like the chair could use it--it's nice fabric. You know how to do that yourself? I once dated someone in Austin who liked to upholster and make her own paper.
