Fabric of the Week: Crush…Turtle Love!

“Crush” is the turtle in the Finding Nemo movie. A funny and genuine character. But I’m wondering about my sweet turtle. Does he have hope? The repeat comes out nicely but I’m simply not sure about it as a fabric. Specifically, I was thinking about curtains or a shower curtain but what else?

Mayer Fabric

I just installed a 24′ long wrap around window seat upholstered in Mayer Fabric. We selected a specific seating fabric that has texture, is dark enough – but not too dark – to hide little messy finger marks and comfortable to sit on with shorts. When selecting a fabric, it’s important to think of the… Continue reading Mayer Fabric
