Last week, The Scout brought me home a coffee sack He was sure that I would be able to use it for something. I have washed, line dried and folded it. Now it is waiting for inspiration to strike. Yesterday I spent a little time on
pinterest looking for ideas. Upholstering furniture or making cushions seems to be the most popular option. So now I am wondering about using it to cover that little brown chair that came home a couple of weeks ago, or maybe even my sewing room chair which is like the office chair above.
Has anyone used coffee sacks for upholstery? Does it wear well - the sack seems pretty robust. Does it stretch or go loose after a little while? It doesn't appear to be scratchy on bare legs. Would love to know your thoughts on this.
I've got some coffee sacks that I'm planning to make a wall hanging with, just haven't quite found the time yet. I love your idea of using them for upholstery!!
ReplyDeleteI know none of the answers but they look great!
ReplyDeleteSounds an interesting idea. If you were worried about durability on a chair you could put a canvas type fabric under them? I tend to use heavy, dark fabrics on chairs because they get sat on by a farmer in his work clothes. :-)
