Summerhouse Textiles


Fernleaf in Natural

Santa Rita in Natural

I have added Summerhouse Textile's line of fabrics to the list of fabrics I offer. These 100% cotton textured fabrics from Summerhouse Textiles are great to use for slipcovers.
You can see all the Summerhouse Textile fabrics on their website http://www.summerhousetextile.com/

This romantic slipcover was made using the Santa Rita fabric in White.

Sunbrella Fabric




Sunbrella has a whole line of fabrics that can be used indoors. My customer chose Sunbrella fabric for it's ease of cleaning in a dining area.
Comfortable, beautiful, and oh so livable, Sunbrella® fabric makes the dining or living room as worry-free as the outdoor room. It's amazingly easy to maintain, and most spills can be cleaned with mild soap and water. For tough stains, bleach can be used without fear of damaging the fabric or removing the color. With this kind of durability, a new 5-year warranty, and a wide variety of styles, what's not to love?

Office Chair Slipcover


Turn your office chair from drab to fab in a fresh new slipcover. The slipcover is made so that it allows the chair to remain fully adjustable. I used Amy Butler's Nigella fabric.
