just got some CRDaniels all~poly canvas in, white white, heavy texture, drapeable.
anybody want to experiment with some? I will cut you off what you want. Got 100 yds here, 6.00 a yard plus shipping.
experimenting is good fun for me. Especially if it will replace the cotton stuff..............petro chemical evil though right ? is this evil ? It's better than running a quart of ammonia and a gallon of bleach ( separately, of course ) down the drain per each 4.5 yards cotton.

I will help you recycle your as yet unwashed all~cottons, when they are unbleached natural in color and tightly woven. I will pay you for your postage ( only ) , and donate $3.oo a yard to Karen, if this is okay with you, Karen ? Donations to be applied to all the many PR costs associated with the website, summits, booths, flyers, transporation etc.
I will set aside a budget of $500 for this, first come first serve, dig'um out.
I need at least ten yards per type, fairly continuous yardage, enough for a chair. Maybe twelve yards minimum if in more pieces. No canvas or twills, sorry, as I am SO saturated with that already.
This may wind up in the samples made for the next show or summit, so if you were curious as to what could be done with it, now's the time to find out. I will likely wash it untill it shrivels like a prune and then bleach it high white. This is really recycling, this is a much prettier product than the raw materials.
Karen, I'll edit this is you don't want to do this............ let me know.

Help Us Raise Money
with
Simple Recycling
We need funds for more folks to attend the Slipcover Summit in Arizona in June of 2006. and to pay for booth expenses at the International Window Fashion Expo in Florida the end of March 2006. Instead of raising cost to be on the Slipcover Directory or to keep asking for donations, we have come up with an easy fundraising solution.
1)Do you use ink in your inkjet or laser printer? What do you do with the empty cartridges????
2)Do you have old cellphones sitting in a drawer in your house or office?
Simple Recycling is willing to pay us to recycle our ink cartridges and cells phones. All you have to do is save your recycling products and when you get 3 or 4 send them to me at 8118 Skipley Ave, Snohomish Wa 98290.
When we have enough I will turn them into the company and they will pay us for RECYCLING.
It is that easy. Please send me an email at info@slipcovernetwork.com or call 800-267-4958 to let me know you will be participating.

now is the time to tell me, while I am writing up class descriptions for summit 2006, what you would like to see included in undergarments.
I would suggest ideally ( if I had the time ):
the full range of fabrics used
how layers seams, cords, zippers are treated when you line direct
when to go separate with your " lining ", sewing VS stapling, complete VS incomplete coverage
undergarments when used to add padding, applying it, tools, materials, techniques.
That's way too much for two hours, so if you can point me in the direction you need to go, let me know here soon.
Brown will be on the saturday after this class, so we can incorporate your remaining questions in the process of covering the chair you bring for Brown. For Brown: bring the ugliest, most difficult to slipcover chair that you own, but for this first time, please bring cotton fabric. The old rote saying applies here well: light color, pattered, textured, having body and dull surface ( opposite of : dark plain smooth limp glossy ).

Yea, it could be half full. Go and see what they are wanting, and then decide. I personally don't like to make vinyl slipcovers.
We have classes for the Summit in order. Hope to get this written up
and to folks tomorrow, Monday..
Thanks.

Hi, all
I've got to call someone (far away) tomorrow about slipcovering restaurant booths. I don't know anything else at this point. All I can picture is torn slippery vinyl with smears of catsup and old egg. Well, instead of this "glass half empty" ('cus beer also spilled on the booths) approach, I should instead think that maybe the booths are for some cute country diner. Anyone ever done anything like this?
