I love discovering new fabric sources...good ones can be so difficult to find. I've learned that it's more gratifying in the long run to buy nicer fabric and have a pillow constructed for a reasonable price (on etsy or Craigslist you can almost always find a taker). It ends up costing the same as one from a nice home furnishings chain, yet you enjoy it so much more because it's "you" and carefully reflective of your living space. These beautiful textiles and patterns from John Robshaw Textiles are stunning and ideal in small, vibrant doses. Never underestimate the power of a gorgeous pattern...talk about good vibes and positive energy!

My brother reupholsters for a living and I agree, everything he owns is so much cooler because he made it! And my mom has always made her own curtains.
ReplyDeleteI may have to invest in a sewing machine and hop into those family jeans!!

ReplyDeleteI was so excited to read this. One of the last things I have left to do in our house is pick out the pillowcases in the dining room and living room.
ReplyDeleteThis fabric is gorgeous.
Hope you and your family are having a great summer!
