Some fabric is made better than others, I find good name brands are mostly good.
You just can not always tell, but only time will tell in color, wear etc. Then it is to late.
One thing I noticed this year and last year. The covers I make for my outside furniture is always costly. The expensive and 1/2 way through the summer or less. The color really fades now. So I decided to buy cheap at general dollar the cushions have done
very well. Colors good and fabric not old looking. Saved me making them too. Will use the ones I have next year too! That outdoor fabric and cushion cost so much even with coupons or sale, not to last one summer, in the shade.
It was name fabric and good and heavy from fabric store. But Dollar General did great on there buy I chair covers. Will it be the same next year ?
