I made slip covers for my sofa and overstuffed chair and I used over 9 fabrics for my whole living room! It looks beautiful and they all combine just right. I also have learned that if they're in the same color scheme it will work. I'm redoing our guest room and I'm trying not to go too overboard with fabrics but so far I'm up to 5 fabrics. Thanks again for the information.Lilliananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399639578758058574.post-10016899118217540572009-04-29T10:16:00.000-05:002009-04-29T10:16:00.000-05:00Thank you, Rhoda!

I am sure these women have made the best "fabric" choices already when putting their blogs together.

The rustic toile (colored pattern) is one of my favs. We started this fabric in a client's home and sadly never got the chance to finish due to their finances. We did make a table cover and it was beautiful! Have a great day. I love how it looks antique and crackled!<br /><br />~MistiMisti of Studio M Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00989487170698114089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399639578758058574.post-14527110555732470482009-04-29T08:08:00.000-05:002009-04-29T08:08:00.000-05:00Loved the post.

I felt so empowered when I got a part-time after school job, just so I could spend my wages on (real) Levi's, and underwear which wasn't homemade. All our Daisy and Barbie clothes ... sigh. As a Mum I now understand the love and necessity which made her do it, and feel sad that she now can't. You certainly have a way with putting fabric together, your suggestions are lovely.

What kind of fabric is used for what? I just want to make a couple of pillows. I always leave frustrated. <br /><br />My mom sewed clothes and ballet costumes for me. Yards of tulle gathered for tutus! She made my beautiful wedding gown, too. <br /><br />I prefer very simple in everything, including window treatments for my home. Simple panels that lift and blow in the ocean breeze here, light and sheer for most of the windows, a sweet white cotton for the living room. <br /><br />Your combos are beautiful and so perfectly Rhoda!Rose - Watching Waveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08753071639280850781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399639578758058574.post-78601873773160397672009-04-28T10:55:00.000-05:002009-04-28T10:55:00.000-05:00I just purchased a sewing machine (again) and will...I just purchased a sewing machine (again) and will be re-teaching myself how to sew.<br /><br />Waiting for my Fabric.com order to come in so I can set up my sewing area and make it all pretty.<br /><br />Sewing area is going in the master bedroom (under renovation right now).
