Wednesday giveaway - upholstery samples

Today's giveaway is a set of eight samples of upholstery fabric. The fabric is quite thick, about the thickness of denim jeans, although much softer. They came from Laura Ashley and are about 3.5" x 5" or 9x14 cm.

There are two of each fabric, in warm reds, to match our dining room curtains. One fabic has gold swirls on it. Apart from the white ones, obviously.

I could imagine them being turned into tissue holders, but I'm sure other people could come up with alternatives - a patch pocket on a bag? Mobile phone cases? Dice bags?

I don't know if they are washable, and the colour might run if you try.

    Think I might try to patch them together to make a purse front...looks like the colors would play nicely together. THanks.

    I won't chance another posting off to Scotland, but they do look like they'd make a lovely cushion, don't they....?
