Scrap Fabric... and fillet

[Baer Charlton]

Try that with a stick of wood fillet.

 

[Kirstie]

OK, I am convinced. I have got to get an example of a rounded flexible fillet up on the wall! Now to find an old photo large enough to make an impact.

Simply elegant!

Kirstie, I know where you can get your hands on this picture, it generates a whole lot of interest. And I think a Roman Basket arch would be nice or an Oval.

That is really a great idea!

I should be able to make up something like that - back in my younger days, I used to sew custom auto upholstery, and that would be called welting.

Marky, you could make them yourself, except the insert in the welt is the secret to it's retaining it's shape. The cording that you use for making a fabric welt is different than the {silicone I believe} that Frank's Fabric uses. They are really not that expensive either.


(There you go Baer, you can thank me latter for the plug)

Where? Isn't this one called "Mom" on your site? What's the history?
Tell all!

Now I really must stop this grumbling and take the giant poodle to the vet. Four windows open on the Mac and getting nothing done!

It's my mother at age 18 in 1938. I've sold about four of them... I think the restorer repops them for $100 or $110...
