I redesigned the fellow with a longer torso and shorter legs. I love how he looks.<\/p>\n<p>If you ever see some toile that you think I might be interested in, I&#8217;d love to hear about it. Most of the great fabric that I&#8217;ve had the pleasure of using has been gifts from friends. I also buy scraps off of Etsy and Ebay and always keep my eye out at the thrift stores. I need toile with a white or cream background with the images printed in blue, brown or black. Also, since I over-dye it all, it should be cotton or linen. I don&#8217;t need huge pieces- decorator squares are excellent. I have a ton of red and white toile (slipcovers from my mom&#8217;s sofa, found in the attic when we cleaned out her house) and would be happy to trade too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not what you were thinking from the title, eh?
