Cape Town notes on supplies & care
Fabric houses in Woodstock, Salt River and the southern suburbs sell upholstery fabric off the roll, and foam cutters in Epping and Montague Gardens cut to size, often while you wait. Pick UV-stable fabric for sunny rooms and outdoor fabric for stoeps facing the south-easter.
