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.

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.

Poor you! I think you'll have to redo the job in a different colour-fast fabric.

Sorry - it's got to be washed.
