My little rough and tumble slipcover sample I told you about here?
She's pretty much out of the running. Again.
(Seriously, are any of my human relationships this rocky? No.)
I did what I should have done in the first place: Gone right to the source.
I called Waverly Fabrics and asked them how "Dry Clean Only" they meant when they said, "Dry Clean Only."
Turns out they really mean it.
In fact, the fabric I picked shouldn't even be used for indoor applications, according to the rep I spoke with. They've had numerous complaints about it fading inside. It's an "occasional outdoor use" fabric.
Which is....you know.....kind of different than "indoor/outdoor."
And truly makes me wonder why such a delicate fabric is in the marketplace trying to hang with the big boys (read: Sunbrella).
I appreciate their honesty. I don't appreciate that I'm back to the drawing board.
I do have a new candidate coming soon.
A clearly marked, "Machine Washable" candidate.
I hope it doesn't smell my desperation.
That's always such a turn-off.
What I mean to say is, "It's cool."
"Either way."
"Plenty of fish in the sea."
And now if you'll excuse me, I'm just going to go check the mailbox.
Three hours early.
