[...] take any pictures of the upholstery construction!) I sewed some double welt cord (following Centsational Girl’s instructions), piping, covered the cushions, covered some 3/4″ buttons, and then put it all back together [...]

Hi, just read all this and I have a tip too. I suppose you know of the “Sewing with Nancy” programs on PBS or her website of the same name. If you look there she has televised how to determine exactly how to know what fabric allowance is needed and how to do it for the two “ends” to meet. I’d explain it to you guys but I’ll have to first find it for myself…it’s somewhere in the tomes of my VCR recording. I’ll also plug it into my browser and see if it comes up, her method is very unique and simple. BTW, I liked the fabric for the upholstered headboard, I wanted velvet by I like the texture of yours even better, now if I could just find the right color and shade.

Was wandering around your blog today – and I don’t know if you will see this question on this older post, but can you share what the wonderful stranger told you about inexpensive foam? the prices for foam at Joann and Hobby Lobby in my area are just CRAZY!!! I was thinking of buying inexpensive egg crate matresses and doubling them, but that is still only about 2 1/2 – 3 inches thick….
if you want to e-mail the info, I am at julieaspear AT gmail DOT com.
or maybe you covered this in another post, still hunting….
THANKS CG!!!!!
p.s. I am a fool for velvet also – I would cover my world in velvet if possible!!!
My Mom always said that was because my astrological sign is Cancer, and we love “soft stuff”!!!
