I'm actually hoping to have some fun and not have this look like a 'normal' couch when done....instead, show off a patch of another color, perhaps splash some paint on it as well.<br /><br />Do you know of any material that would adhere to a vinyl upholstery?<br />Thanks and best,<br />DZDZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03923617150484731976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1111168922015801234.post-18554722950132443842013-08-29T11:58:46.415-04:002013-08-29T11:58:46.415-04:00DZ,I wouldn't try it.

The best thing I can think of is to bite the bullet and slip cover your sofa which is a pain, I know.

Obviously, these cushions have a lot more give than the chairs you show here. I'd rather turn my flaking couch into a fun modern art project than replace it...and am looking for ideas to color and cover. <br />I'm open to anyone's ideas and thoughts!!DZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03923617150484731976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1111168922015801234.post-31336022841422777292012-12-28T19:55:47.003-05:002012-12-28T19:55:47.003-05:00Marti, you do sacrifice some flexibility in the fa...Marti, you do sacrifice some flexibility in the fabric by laminating it, but a square corner is no problem to fold. You might get some puckering on a round corner, but I'd still try it. I can also add, now that we've been using the chairs almost a year, that they are bullet-proof. I've stood on them in treaded sneakers and the kids have used them pretty heavily with no signs of wear.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02080551617376240450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1111168922015801234.post-26507358313108169702012-12-27T19:13:38.860-05:002012-12-27T19:13:38.860-05:00I'm thinking about doing the same thing with m...I'm thinking about doing the same thing with my dining chairs and found your blog while searching for tips. In your experience, was the vinyl-coated fabric still flexible and easy to use? I'm concerned that folding the fabric and stapling around the seat corners may be difficult or too bulky.

I know that's one of your favorite colors. <br />I have been looking at laminated fabrics and been unimpressed by the price, but more importantly by the limited range of designs and colors.<br />I have been wanting to make a raincoat and now I feel like I can choose absolutely any fabric (or collection of fabrics) and make something I love.ThatGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07090854027571666557noreply@blogger.com
