- I have just done this, but used a different company, to furnish me with a sofa & a couple of armchairs...

/\ Ivy upholstery ... reminds me of times I bought fabric from Chipp to recover chairs and for odd cushions ... worked out well .....

A minimum order length is to be expected from all.
Get a swatch before they really set the looms a rollin'.
You will have something unique and, with the aid of your Friendly Neighbourhood Ivy Tailor or Seamstress, some jolly nice togs.
- UK Ivy Tailor tip: Go backstreet, go Asian. Happy to copy old gear & they copy well. Avoid spending more at stuck-up English places who sneer at the 'lack of tailoring' in Ivy.
Everything is do-able. Just step off the Net.

This guy could use some of this upholstery, ya know, to put out a fire as well as cardboard and a mattress do.

you cannot live down a legend, ask Leer ....
re the conflagration video, a very unfortunate incident, what was this poor guy trying to do? I hope he didn't lose his Ivy or his action figures.
Is there an Indian equivalent of the W.I. ?
