Hi Colette. Love the blog and news about Tessuti. I’m a customer at the Bondi store and (on the theme of homewares) have just finished a children’s project – placemat and napkin set – using some lovely Japanese cotton from your shop.
Hi Marina,love your placemat and napkin set made up in the Japanese piggie print………very cute.
Hi Colette, I love using dress fabrics for furnishing.
I have a tip for those who might want to use a very soft fabric for home furnishing. To make it “sturdier”, use a fusible interfacing in the weight you want. If the fabric is not suitable to fuse, you can underline it with calico. A spray of scotchgard will help protect from spills.
Even in the photo, the fabric has an extremely soft glow.
