nmgirl, I'm at work so not able to find what I printed to give credit to the person I got from. I got a large bowl/container. Taped the twisted newspaper in a spiral pattern from top to bottom on inside. That is the big indention in the pot. I used a plastic over that for a release. That is where the small spaces came from. Then I just packed with trufa. Keep in mind that it has to be thicker where the newspaper was so your pot is strong. I did the same thing on the other pots in photobucket but they were straighter up and down. Let me know if you need better directions or email me. Kathy

Have you searched all the online retailers - fabric guru etc.? I think it's going to be very hard if not impossible to find this exact fabric if the chairs are 15 years old. Why don't you look for a new fabric similar, but perhaps you'll find something new you like even better?

Thanks for all the tips. I will be drilling into fired clay, no glaze on the bottom of the pots. But they are not absorbant, since they are high fired. Containers are glazed inside and out, with no glaze on the bottoms, which are just high fired clay. I will tape the bottom and drill from there. Since it will be a new job for me, I will do the first one on a piece I can spare if it cracks. Pagan, it is never too late to learn pottery. I have been at it for 22 yrs. I make pottery for use in the tropical fish hobby, but now I can use my many pieces for my growing c&s collection, with appropriate gritty mix now. If my hole drilling works, I will report back with some pics of my success. Thanks again

Have you tried searching for "ice cream parlor chairs" on various new and used sites? I think most people wouldn't remember the specific name of the chair after 25 years, but someone somewhere might be looking to sell some and that's a good descriptor. https://www.google.ca/search?q=ice+cream+parlor+chair,+rattan+back&client=ms-android-samsung&prmd=isvn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjzkffr96XaAhWTx6YKHSyVARcQ_AUIESgB&biw=360&bih=560
