My XDIL was an interior designer, and she asked me about sewing pillows for her, and she was telling me the cost of the fabric, I almost fainted!! No way wa I going to touch that!! It seems if you can afford to hire a designer, you can afford fabric that cost like that. No wonder all those fabulous rooms we see in magazines look so good. There is NO WAY I'd ever pay that much for fabric, but she sure showed me some beautiful samples.
