I just made this pattern of starlet harlots based on Ava Gardner, Claudette Colbert and some others. It’s reminiscent of these other patterns I made last April:
I got a Danish modern vintage chair at a Brooklyn Flea market a couple weekends back. I want to re-upholster it with my own design. Gonna use Spoonflower.com of course. I’ll show you before and after pictures but I have not even ordered the fabric so it may take a few weeks.
I suppose when it’s reupholstered you could say you are sitting on a “dirty” chair. Get it?

Ohhh exciting!!
Sorry we couldn’t have talked more Saturday! It was kind of a loud environment for conversation:) We’ll have to meet up again with our menfolk this time.
Yes, it was kinda loud. For sure, let’s meet up with the menfolk.
XOO
wooooo It’ll be so awesome! Please do share before and after!
I guess I missed you on Sat… I got there a little bit late and I heard that you were there, but you left… aw.
oh no, that’s terrible Hijiri!!! We’ll have to meet up soon…ok?
XO.
Fabric based on Claudette Colbert (and is that Hayworth?) is all I need to hear. Whatever it’s used for, it will rock.
That is beautiful! I’ve been wanting to do the spoonflower thing for a while now, but haven’t had the chance yet. This is definitely some inspiration!
Ambika, you have a good eye! I think it is Hayworth. I printed so much reference I’m having trouble remembering everyone on there. I modified them so they’re not portraits per se just evocative of the starlets themselves.
I’m going to reupholser a chair with it!
