Or you could slit it and then use pink ribbon and do a corset tie or simple ties in ribbon to hold it togehter...who cares if it isn't perfect from the back? I have some doilies I can send you if you like...Amy Chalmershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10622362955890810774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518721847478228439.post-1168458188218999362012-06-16T21:05:52.754-05:002012-06-16T21:05:52.754-05:00Normally I would agree with everyone else but I ju...Normally I would agree with everyone else but I just dragged a table, a bedside table and a footstool downstairs. ALL of them I had BIG plans for. Sigh....<br />and now I no longer need them. <br />Sadly I had bought fabric to cover the footstool, but maybe I will make a pillow or a dog bed out of it.<br />Hey! There's an idea.<br />anyway, Good Luck! <br /><br />I'm wondering about your bottle idea.

I'm going to take a look at it and see if I can do that. <br /><br />I did not know this fabric was at Hobby Lobby! Good to know. I had seen it on line and it said it was velvet. <br /><br />But this is more like a really heavy linen. But I'll go to the Hob Lob and see. I am thinking I might make a slip cover for my cushions on the sofa from it.Nita Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13833196166679983378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518721847478228439.post-7683234782366371722012-06-16T18:16:53.928-05:002012-06-16T18:16:53.928-05:00That is a great slip cover Nina and I can see why ...That is a great slip cover Nina and I can see why you want to keep it. I redid a chair with that fabric and sadly it has no sold yet!:( You can get that fabric at Hobby Lobby if you have one close by.

You may find a chair that it fits, or you may be able to expand it by sewing a pleat in the back and adding a small amount of fabric. I know that's what I would do if it were mine.<br />Hugs, CindyCindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984727854409721822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518721847478228439.post-9017136651214541722012-06-16T15:01:17.333-05:002012-06-16T15:01:17.333-05:00Keep that slipcover!
