Title: Furnishing Velvet Post by: EJ on November 02, 2008, 01:45:23 AM I have about 2.5 - 3 metres of wide furnishing velvet - darker than royal but lighter than midnight blue which Child has dumped on me. She had used it as a settee throw when she was in the flat but no longer wants it.
It's been cleaned (possibly washed - I'll have to check). Unlikely not enough to make a loose cover for a standard armchair but would certainly make a goodly number of cushion covers or something. Quite bulky and I haven't weighed it but if anyone wants it they can have it for postage costs. I'll open it up and measure properly if someone is interested in it.

I have an old nursing chair that I recovered but was never happy with the fabric I chose. Sounds like it would be enough to do that. Did I ever tell you furniture restoration and upholstery are some of my other hobbies? Could you give me the dimensions please :) Title: Re: Furnishing Velvet Post by: EJ on November 06, 2008, 04:31:17 PM I don't think you have told us!
It's 134cm wide, excluding selvedges, and there's actually 4 metres, I haven't weighed it but it's pretty hefty. Shall I put a snippet in the post? Title: Re: Furnishing Velvet Post by: corrie on November 06, 2008, 04:35:37 PM Ah well, there's more than soap to this gal!
Could you take a pic of the colour, I'll get the general idea. There's definately enough of it. Cheers EJ |
