I really love the way Carla's purple chair turned out, so I followed what she did, and it worked! I do think a fixative would have been overkill.

Any special reason why you skipped this step? They also mention using their 'dye fixative', did you consider using this in addition to the scotch guard? I'm just trying to formulate my plan here, thanks!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11793942829346142383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4123025195067333924.post-81157478469788239562019-03-19T14:54:28.257-07:002019-03-19T14:54:28.257-07:00Excellent posting !
