I just can't wait to show you this project! I wanted to show you it last week, but I have made a strickt rule for myself, that I cannot post anything until the project is completely finished. I am notorious for starting a project, getting it to a "good enough" point -- you know the point where it looks finished, but you know it isn't completely finished. So, I had to wait until it was completely finished.

Reupholstered Chair (Deployment Project #12)

My good friend Kristi was stationed at Ft. Irwin with us and when we both found out we were moving to DC we were quite exctied. The only problem is that her family moved north of DC in Maryland and we settled in south of DC in Virginia. We are only a speck over an hour from each other, but the city of DC separates up.

Who Knew? (Deployement Project #5)
***** Added Information: Well, I have gotten lots of comments and lots of questions on these pillows, so here is the quick lo-down on the pillows!
To run the fabric through my printer, I cut my fabric 10 1/2" x 13" (2" larger than my piece of cardstock). then I carefully taped it around a piece of cardstock, wrapping the edges, making sure the corners don't get too thick. This is the tricky part, but be patient. Make sure all the edges are held down with tape so that the back of your piece of cardstock is smooth.
Next you need to print your picture. Most printers have a back panel where you can manually run cardstock or thick paper through it. I had to work with mine for a little while, but if you have some patience and keep working at it, you should be able to send it through and just let it print. For the settings on my printer, I just set it for standard cardstock and photo quality printing.
After it printed, I took all the tape off and then pulled some strings to make it "fringy." Next I cut my pillow fabric to size and used a decorative stich to attach the fabric picture to the front. Then finished my pillow by attaching a zipper and sewing the other three sides.
Now, here is the important part - - - - Are you reading this?
THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!!!!
You cannot wash these! It will wash your entire picture clear off your fabric and you will have worked in vain! - - No, I did not wash my pillows - - I actually thought ahead and made an extra sample just to run through the washing machine! But I am just warning you - - my fabric came out whiter than white. Now, I am willing to bet that if I were putting new ink into my printer and the ink cartrage spontaiously combusted and I got it all over my favorite shirt - - it would not wash out! But since I intentionally put the ink on fabric - - it most definately washes completely out!!!
Hope this extra info helps!!!
