A couple of months back, Barbara of Hodge:Podge introduced me to Tonic Living, a fabulous resource for fresh and modern fabrics that are available to us Canadians, at a decent price. I paid $18.95/metre and the exact fabric is available at InVu Drapery for a little over $35/metre! That’s not to say that InVu does not have some great choices at good prices, but this particular one was pricier there.
I was immediately taken with this fabric and promptly ordered two metres. Well, it sat, for a while. Tonight I finally decided to recover my old chairs.

I hope you can help me; Is there something I can use to cover the staples on the curvy backs, other than gimp? Gimp is readily available, but I want something less obvious.

Oh they look fabulous! Great fabric. If you have leftover fabric, you might try making some double welt to cover the edges.

Awesome. Thanks for the shout-out! I don't know if anything else. Maybe cording? Yes, to what Tanya says as well. But I really loved the "before" fabric! I just ordered a similar pattern from Premier Prints!
