Hello,
I'm in the process of trying to reupholster some dining chairs. I'm trying to keep costs down and wondered whether it would be sensible to use [url]weed control fabric[https://www.wickes.co.uk/Weed-Control-L ... l/p/160172] as an alternative dust cover fabric ("cambric").
This is not the heavy duty type but rather is quite thin - fairly similar (I think) to typical dust cover fabric.
I have a couple of unopened rolls of this stuff, so opening one will avoid needing to buy dust cover fabric (which seems to be quite expensive and unfortunately Dunelm no longer stocks it). On the other hand, I'd be keen on shifting the unused rolls and would rather avoid removing the packaging material if it isn't suitable, since it will likely make it more difficult to shift.
Does anyone have an opinion as to whether this would be OK? Thanks!
