I scored!

My friend, Ami, took me to The Denver Fabric Mart.  People, I have been missing out all this time!  Rows and rows of fabric, both upholstery and clothing.  Heaven, I tell you.

I found some fabric for the couch slipcover I'm making (say a prayer for me).  Sale!  Four dollars a yard.  Then I found some great cotton duck in the perfect shade of pink for a buck a yard!  I have two chairs in my bedroom that need to be recovered.  After that I had to just go home.  Not nearly as expensive as it could have been given the sales.  But still, best not to overdo it.

So today I am writing and drafting a pattern for the chairs.  I've already completed the pattern for the couch but I figured I'd try to do one chair first because if I mess up, it's in my room.  I've never done slipcovers so this will be very interesting. 

I'll post pictures unless it's too awful to see-:)

Wow--sewing porn! I'd forgotten, though I dallied at the windows of some fabric/upholstery shops in St. Remy. I've no doubt the finished product will be satisfying. Keep it comin, yes, yes! xo liz
