Fan Chair Slipcover

I just had to show this chair--the white is the original (it was all torn in the seat) and the bottom tweed is the finished slipcover. As you can see it doesn't photograph very well and since it was quite awhile ago, I can't remember whose chair it was. But it was a challenging slipcover to do--but it turned out beautiful.

Thank You to Slipcover Network in Atlanta

Thanks to each one of you for ALL you did to keep the Slipcover Network Booth open and informative over three days.

Special thanks to Rusty for setting up/tearing down the Booth and conducting the slipcover demonstrations. Shrunda did a wonderful job staging the booth and printing more Slipcover Network business cards for us to hand out. Jessica did a great job keeping us entertained and seeking out the locals to refer to each of us from Atlanta. Jackie came in on Friday and helped to hold down the booth until closing. In Addition, thanks to Sade, Rusty's assistant, for her help in the booth on Thursday.

I felt we all made some new friends within the booth and learned something from each other.

Thanks again and I hope our paths cross again in the future.

Coordinator of Slipcover Network Atlanta

Help - I Want New Fabrics to USE for Slipcovers!

I'm getting bored of my slipcover fabrics. So, I'm looking for some new ideas of fabrics to use for slipcovers. Most of my customers choose from my Carr Textiles selection (nice prices) or occasionally one of the other organic cottons/hemps I carry.

I have accounts with, and a few favorite slipcover fabrics from, J. Ennis, Kravet, Robert Allen, Artmark and Kasmir but since most of these companies specialize in pricey upholstery or drapery fabric it seems to me I have lots of books and nothing I want to sell.

Maybe I just have the end of winter blahs (or here in NC the beginning of summer blahs).
Anyone have a good source of textures like matelisse or anything else interesting?
