how to save 25 drink bottles from going to land fill.....................

by buying one of the organic mamas recycled P.E.T. plastic bottle cushion inserts - wow!that's right - each of our inserts save a whopping 25 bottles going to landfill. so head on over to our main homewares shop and buy one or two.....and maybe a cover to go with it.and to celebrate this amazing fact, you can get 25% off your orderby putting in the secret code save25 at the checkout for the next 7 days (expires 22nd Sept).

what are you waiting for ??

How much fabric do I need to cover this chair ?

well, wonder no longer...

i found the following chart on fabric guru about 6 months ago and saved it in a "safe place".

today, i found that safe place and here it is for you to enjoy - how awesome is it?

bear in mind it is in yards (1 yard = 0.91m) and it is based on fabric that is 54 inches wide (1.37m) and it doesn't allow for pattern repeats...but it does give you a bit of an idea.
