In case you were wondering...it pays to comment

If someone pukes on your upholstered (not slip covered) arm chair and you find a zipper on the back of the cushion and you're wondering if you can just toss the upholstery cover in the load of post-puke laundry...the answer is no.
Even without drying it may shrink
A lot

And even if you are feeling slightly genius and remember the trick of wrapping the cushion innards in a plastic trash bag so it slides right in as easy as pie...
your cushion may still be too small for the chair.

Clearly the only solution is the sit my rear in the chair and start working really hard at smooshing the cushion.

On a happier note:
I have so appreciated your helpful and kind feedback on the last two posts. The friendly notes totally made my day and made me glad I entered the Fred Flare contest even though I don't have a snowball's chance in...well, you know.

To thank the nice commenters, I thought I'd give out some goodies.  I wrote the names of all the commenters on little slips of paper and held some drawings.  From the Long Lived Lunchsack post, Kris H is our winner. She'll get the vintage wallpaper lunchsack shown in that post.  And on the Zip Quilt Kits post, I drew Alicia's name so she'll get the sample doll quilt shown in the photo-or a kit if she'd prefer. But there will be a slight delay if she wants a kit as I haven't actually written the instruction book yet. Oops (I swear it's all planned out in my head!)

Have a great weekend!
