I'm planning on having my living room sofa re-upholstered. I have heard that I should stay away from 100% cotton material because it will wrinkle. The fabric I am considering is 100% combed cotton. The label says it passed 15,000 rubs, whatever that means. This sofa wil be sat on every day by a dog and a human! Any suggestions? Thanks.
ANYTHING but leather.....leather gets all sweaty after siting on it for a while...i would get like a mix of fabrics...like probably 50% cotton, 50% polyester...or then there is also suede

I'm looking for something earthy/tan/beige color with a textural look and feel of linen and hemp, comfort of cotton, but resistant to wrinkle and wear for my sofa cushions.
"Sunbrella" seems to have fantastic fabrics for indoor and even outdoor upholstery but they are a bit expensive though. Just wondering what affordable alternatives are available out there? Any recommendation welcome. Thanks!
Hi! I have a faux suede fair buff upholstery on my couch. It's really easy to clean, I just have to remove it from my couch, throw it in the washing machine, and then put it back on while it's still damp.
Works perfectly! I got mine from homereserve.com though.. so it might be hard to find it..
foam, vinyl, polyester nylon cotton olefin fabric. I throw away at least a couple hundred pounds a week. straight in the dump.
Donate it to the local schools, daycares, or churches, as they can use this for arts and crafts for the children :)
It's showtime: Craft-addicted Belleville woman sews up a storm for holiday ...
"My husband will tell you he hasn't seen this table in years," she said, laughing as she looked over a dining room table awash in barely started angelic forms and craft paraphernalia.
"I mean I literally started this two weeks ago, and I knew this was coming for a year. That's how bad I get. Every year I say I'm going to do it properly this year, but it never happens. Then, my husband tells me my in-laws are coming tomorrow. It's like, 'Ohhh, great!'"
But this 52-year-old, craft-addicted mother of two wouldn't have it any other way.
For almost 30 years, she has been pleasing family, friends, customers -- and, most of all, herself -- with creations ranging from cute, little mice to carousel horses. Even more impressive, she has turned heads at Graceland, where her teddy bears -- one of Elvis and one of Lisa Marie -- have earned third place at two of the last three Elvis craft competitions.

About 7 years ago my sister gave me a curtain panel with these leaves attached at the top. I didn't really have a use for it as is (was), but liked the parts - removed the leaves, and the panel became a tablecloth we still use today. The leaves surfaced recently in a materials search, and the idea came together for the bag series. It is very fun, and a challenge, to design & gather the parts for these. As with all my projects, they are made with leftover and repurposed materials. Each will be completely
