I just reupholsterd my dinning table chairs. I did it in red. I know now that I should have prolly washed the fabric first..anyways the red is fading onto our clothes when we sit in the chairs…anyone know of a easy solution for fixing this?

Go to the fabric store. There’s a fixative spray. Try that.
Sorry – it’s got to be washed.
Poor you! I think you’ll have to redo the job in a different colour-fast fabric.
seat covers. but take them off when company that hasnt seen the chairs come over. dont let them sit in the chairs tho!
Take the fabric off and soak it in vinegar (it locks the color in – I use regular white vinegar) and then wash it. I can’t think of anything to do with the fabric still on the chairs.
