Also how 'bout pillow covers?? Have you tried that yet? Thanks!💚(I also like that patina look you created with the brown showing through. )

    • @ellenjgoods

    What an awesome guy Gary is! He knew you could learn to upholster and instead of feeling threatened sharing his trade secrets, he is sharing them & spreading the love ( or just wanted you to stop bugging him lol wink wink). Btw, cool chair, just looking at it, kinda looks like it's dyed leather which gives it a unique and cool finish.

    • @ellenjgoods

      Painting a cotton velvet works best. Sometimes the synthetics don’t accept the paint as well.

    Could you add WHITE VINEGAR TO YOUR WSYER SPRAY? I'm an old hairstylist and I used to apply this solution to grey hair before coloring and all I can say it IT WORKED FOR HAIR FYE do why not paint ? Try it on a spot of the fabric you suspect could be a cotton Blend. What have you got to loose? Live the chairman I hope you got the sofa! I font underdtand the " hide it from my husband" anyone. I left the one who did NOT understand my Creativity Needs 33 years ago!!. I'm so HAPPY. There's no hideing anything anyone!❤

    • @donnarogers7732
      @donnarogers7732 2 роки тому

      Vinegar is a dye setting agent. I'd put about 2 tablespoons in your water bottle. I'm betting you'll see a difference in how the fabrics take the paint or some cars USEING Ryt fabric dye now as well on upholstery. Good luck.

    Help help @ellenjgoods!??! I have a microfiber sorta looks like a velvet or velour type fabric or i don’t know really old recliner rocker it’s SAGE green very light sage green ( I doubt it’s cotton) I saw all your steps so I get it sort of ….so for a pale light sage green chair what products and colors can I use to get a MOSS GREEN velvet look?? Like the seventies style velvet you still see when you type in miss green velvet chair ?? Thx.

    • @ellenjgoods
      @ellenjgoods  2 роки тому +1

      I’m so sorry that I missed your comment, Heaven, I hope you see this. I think that you will just need to experiment with some different shades of a darker green. It’s really hard for me to judge what the outcome would be since I don’t know what you mean by a light sage green, and every paint will react differently depending on the color and the fabric content . We all see incense color differently. I say test on a small area and see what happens!
