  2. Lovely Peeps, does anyone know how I would go about finding fabric?

    A friend had to give up a chair she loved today - I happened to pass by & took a photo both of the chair & of her in it 🥰 so there is that, at least.

    But ... I don't know the make of the chair, how old it is, or anything else about it.

    It would ease the pain a bit if we could find the pattern again (or a very close facsimile), so she could make curtains, or cushions, or *something* to remind her of it.

    It feels like an old-fashion, gentle floral print and I think in cotton (not a super-thick/heavy fabric), so maybe not *that* hard to find?

    Where does one begin? Any ideas?

    Boosts welcome! :boost_ok:

    Thank you!

  4. Hello #textile and #sewing people. How do you store your bands (elastic, trim, etc. Anything long and thin and floppy) ? Is there a better way than shoving them all in a ziplock? 😅

  7. Had a go at card weaving today. As always, when I try out something new I want to test the theory without necessarily having the right equipment. 🙃

    So today I was sat on a dumbbell trying to keep the tension right, with yarn that was too thick.

    Anyways, I get the theory now. And it’s good fun, but my back is so sore now!!

    And yes, I need to shampoo the carpet.
