Cobalt, The iron is a Maytag. I bought mine about 5 years ago and it's still going strong.

Go to the library and check out the quilting section.
You'll be able to find templates and color ideas for the 3D effect.

Help. I have some items I want to buy from Ikea but don't want to haul it home.

Is there a service that provides this type of delivery?

I'm in a Chicago suburb and would be buying from the Bolingbrook Ikea.

Thanks.

Where did you originally get the picture to post? I love it!
Is the black figure part of it or just the lines?

I can tell who NOT to use. I have also reported them to Angie's list and filed a complaint.

Peter Klassic. Yes, classic with a K.
He gave me a week and it's taken be almost a month to find people to correct his mistakes.
Paint on woodwork, a chair rail put in UPSIDE down,
dry wall put up with nails, etc.
I now have a great painter. Mike Magano First Class Deocrating and carpenters VW Remodeling.

I never thought it possible to fall in love with a lamp. The first time I saw "spun" (at DWR) ... I swooooned. Great lamp and to get it below retail. Cool! I've searched the web and that lamp is the same price everywhere.

clickchick...have you tried Room and Board for a sofa?

R&B might not be in your budget but, they have floor sales or as is sales. IMO R&B gives you more bang for your buck.

After looking at a closeup, looks like 2 pieces are cut and glued with a thin wire running down the center.

I would try doing it this way: (I could be way of base with this, though) buy 2 sided thin fusible facing, or spray glue and thin wire. Cut out 2 shapes, wrong sides together.
Now make your "sandwich" 1. 1 shape right side out
2. fusible 3. wire 4. second shape 5. iron if using glue,
don't iron. Leave part of the wire out so you can wrap it around the filament. OR you could try using filament instead of wire.

I was going to suggest using sheets. Make a giant "bag" and
slip the futon in. But, after rereading your comment, I guess that wouldn't exactly be a well fitting slip cover.

Do you sew? You could check out pattern books at Joanns fabric or any fabric store. I recently did that and was surprised at the patterns available. It's worth a shot.

Is there a cover already on the futon? You could take the fabric off and use that for your pattern.

Hey Vic242

Are you looking for acrylic or something along the lines of acetate sheets?

You might check www.dickblick.com they have a variety of acetates and plastics. Hope this helps.

What are you working on?
