Where did you find the felt with the printed design on them?
I actually went to a local design furniture store and asked them what they did with their fabric samples. And they give a big box of leftovers to me. So these fabrics are actually made to turn into cushions and sofas. But I have seen similar fabrics at the bigger fabric stores in Holland.
….and they don’t break into a million pieces when dropped or stored!
