This weekend, I got to go to one of FabMo‘s distribution events! FabMo is a nifty group of folks who collect upholstery samples, mostly, from places that would ordinarily discard them. They then have monthly open houses where you can go and browse through and take home pretty much as much fabric as suits your fancy. Here’s what I wound up with:

I then spent a bunch of time working with sewing upholstery fabric. I have learned two things so far:

1. Use bigger seam allowances!

2. Turning it inside out is… challenging!

Still, it’s been pretty fun, and I hope to have some new things to show quite soon!
