January 30Jan 30 comment_55707 Hello, I am making cushion covers out of remnants of old fabrics/clothing to sell in the UK. The cushion inserts will be sourced from a manufacturer and meet fire safety regulations, but I am struggling to find information regarding what fire safety information I must include on any labelling for the cushion covers. The fabrics are all vintage/antique, with most fabric up-cycled from existing clothing (for example a 1940s blouse) which do not have any care/safety labels. Any information on fire retardancy with regards to this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Report
