I thought I would drape it across the tops of my living room windows...at a guess thought I needed about 15 metres....ooppps not enough cash..."Can I lay-by it?"..."Sorry madam you can but not for the reduced price"
Hmmm...." OK just give me a couple of metres"..so home I went disappointed but at least I had a couple of metres of beautiful fabric..perhaps I could make some cushions..
I thought I would drape what I had across the window just to see what it would look like when I realised that if I had purchased the amount I had wanted, I would have had way too much fabric due to the way the pattern was going..oooopps !
Glad I didn't make such an expensive mistake....
love this....
now that's an idea...
So yes I only needed a few extra metres....
Enjoy your weekend
Ah Kym, I think you'll like this post then - http://naturalhistory.typepad.com/blog/2011/06/design-history-totally-toile.html. Enjoy! J x
ReplyDeleteI love toile too!! Beautiful images!
ReplyDeleteKym, I bought some too. Mine is black on linen. One day I will get around to putting it on a little bench stool thingy I have been meaning to blog about for ages.
ReplyDeleteI love it but I've never used it. I love the cabinet! Rachaelx
ReplyDeleteI saw that fabric and thought it was awfully expensive too, especially for the amount I need to reupholster some chairs...I can't wait to see what you eventually decide to use yours for :)
ReplyDeleteKym I love Toile too but the only thing I own that is toile is a red and white apron I bought in America at Williams Sonoma.
ReplyDeleteCushions sound wonderful! Can't wait to see what you do with it.
I'm having a give away at my blog at the moment so if you have a moment please come and say hi!
Best wishes,
Natasha.
