Cushion materials?

Glaucus · 13 Sep 2008 at 18:56

I want to make(well rather get my mum to cut and sow) some cushions like what I had in my old place

What type of fabric should I be looking for, I want something fairly thick and soft. Probably get black and red.

Anyone got any good online sites for buying fabric and the foam blocks/foam pieces. Or now where I would find these things around Bristol. I really am clueless at this stuff.

Is there a local market? We have one which does all that sort of stuff. Foam and fabric.

Its a shame scrapstore shut down, was brilliant for things like this.
Foam is fairly easy to get, I ordered the exact size pieces I needed for something once, just gave them all the measurements and it arrived via courier. I think it was foam for home I got it from.

never heard of it. The market at estville used to be good for things like this. before Ikea was built.

Has it moved somewhere else?

It was down on the harbourside, (by Bristol Bridge)you had to be part of a business or college to get in there (like a makro sort of thing) but it shut down a couple of years ago. You could go in there as a one off if you didnt have a card to get in.

How about St Nicks market?

Can't remember seeing any of that sort of stuff.
