ATTENTION! FABRIC WANTED REWARD OFFERED!

ATTENTION! FABRIC WANTED REWARD OFFERED!


Ok so maybe I am not offering $10,000 but maybe a box of Frango Mints (Chicago legend), Notre Dame football tickets, HomeGoods gift card? I know all of us are in and out of thrift stores, resale shops, warehouse sales, etc. So I am asking for your help!

Now that I have my thrift store chairs that need to be completely re-done, I am more determined than ever to find this Ralph Lauren fabric over which I have been obsessing for years!

It is discontinued - that I know but some furniture stores still have it and they wont sell it to me unless it is on - well - a piece of furniture! LOL I know a bolt is just sitting somewhere in a store or clearing house. I mean really - how many people want tennis racquet upholstered furniture in their house? I am thinking only a select few so there has to be some of this stuff around SOMEWHERE! There is white with blue racquets but just as hard to find! I know Townhouse Galleries - a furniture store chain in Alabama lists it on their website but they have never responded to my attempts. And there is no way I would ever pay the $275/yard MSRP. An on-line fabric store had it on clearance for $24.95 a yard but I was too late! INFO:

It is by Ralph Lauren - Tennis Club Embroidery - Navy. It is a navy blue cotton fabric with white embroidered tennis racquets.


Product No: SKU LFY30007F
Cover Type: Ditsy
Description: Tennis Club Embroidery - Navy
Category: Accessories
Cover Collection: Coastal Harbor
Brand RALPH LAUREN
Specifications:
Horizontal repeat: 7.5 inch, vertical repeat: 7.75 inch

That is all I know about it - it used to be on the Ralph Lauren Home website but no more. If you ever come across any information about this fabric or see it somewhere - PLEASE contact me! I will esteem you forever and be eternally grateful! Who says love means nothing to a tennis player? THANK YOU!

Fabric Art

Fabric Art


Remember when I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I had been cleaning out closets?  Well, Ive been trying to find fun ways to use some of the old t-shirts and dresses that my kids no longer wear.  Some of the fabric is really interesting - and Im just not ready to get rid of it.  So, I framed it.


This is a super easy (and inexpensive) project.  I bought a frame at Michaels for $4.99 (they are on clearance) and chose an old sun dress (I cant believe how fast my daughters are growing up!)


I cut a rectangle out of the dress (my daughter suggested leaving the ribbon trim in the picture) - 


I glued it down in several spots to keep it flat.  Then I added the matting - 


And then the frame -

Now, its ready to hang in my daughters room.  And the whole thing cost $5!  I love that!  

Btw, I still have lots of leftover fabric on this dress - Id love to make something else out of it.  Maybe theyll get a pillow too!

Ive shared this project here -
