The chairs have been done, it has been 18 months but very well worth waiting for and the price was right...free. A friend of ours is a professional upholsterer (the fellow who gives me all his old samples) offered to do them for free. I bought the fabric a long time ago, a friend and I were out browsing at a roll-end outlet and while we found a couple of ho-hum pieces that would match my dining room, nothing special popped out. Until Pat shrieked and I came running....she had found this positively fabulous fabric. I bought a lot of it! (Ulterior Motive: more stash!) This stuff is so beautiful I would have repainted the dining room!
I don't think I could live with a whole sofa of it (it would be appropriate for the lounge in a bordello!) but for the dining room chairs it is great.
It was hard getting the lighting right, it is actually a bit more olive and taupe.
Now to go make a bag using it.
