<p>Excellent find - yeah, don't deal with the old stuff if it is at all questionable!! We were really pleased the zippers on the cushions were almost like new. I don't even know what you call that braid with the snap/clips to have looked for it, so I guess it's alright. Can't see it on the other side, just felt a little "po", you know? LOL.</p>

<p>Unfortunately the metal zippers on the old cushions have degraded. I won't be able to use them.</p>
<p>So....isn't this just the handiest thing? Cut to size nylong zippers!…</p>

<p>Well Dawn, I am the same way with piping. LOL I just know I have a piping foot for my sewing machine somewhere in the drawers here. That is going to come in handy. We'll see how it goes.</p>

<p>Yep, I can see why you are pleased - very nice all put together - that's going to look sharp.</p>

<p>I just finished the second set of loft curtains and in retrospect am not loving my choice. The color is greener than I realized (and I picked it out in person!) and the cotton is just, well, boring. I like lush fabrics. But, I was trying to save money. Maybe it will be okay once up, everything painted and the bedding in which I haven't chosen yet. Get a little crazy with that…</p>

<p>I will say I never want to make them again anytime soon. Reusing the old braid was the most unsatisfying process - nary a straight line on any of my seams!</p>

<p>The fabric is here, and I am pleased as punch with it. The colors are exactly as I expected.</p>
<p>This morning I dug out some old drab green drapery curtains and they go well with the colors. I'll trim the top of the curtains with some eggshell color lacy curtains...maybe and then trim out the draperies with some of the new fabric. Still rolling around the design on those.…</p>
