Fabricut
I was reading, in Lonny, about Fabricut’s recent line that was inspired by George Washington’s Mount Vernon. Apparently the designers at Fabricut spent hours on the grounds of Mount Vernon searching for inspiration. The collection took its cues from “…Martha Washington's dresses, the botanical gardens, decorative trim on a pair of Washington's pistol holsters and architectural elements from the Mansion.” The Mount Vernon Ladies Association permitted the company to indulge its curiosity; I can only imagine they were thrilled with the same. I can’t say I’m ready to reupholster my couch. But, I appreciate the endeavor to accurately incorporate history into fabric.
