Upholstery Project

Last week I realised that I could potentially have a career in upholstery. haha

We've were looking for some chairs or armchairs to put in the living room as we had just a sofa so if we had guests either we or they had to sit on a very uncomfortable wooden chair. Our big hunt ended when R. find 2 old armchairs from the 80's at his workplace. He saved them from burning.
The original fabric on the chairs was dusty, filthy and full with holes. It was a job for me I thought! I started my new hunt to find the perfect upholstery fabric. Soon I realised that it was the hardest part in the whole upholstery project. At the end I found this creamy-buttery-white feltish fabric.
Luckily, I could use the original cover to make my pattern. One and a half day cutting, stitching, sewing, pushing, pulling, stapling and the two chairs have been completed, ready for the guests!

I hope you like the end result (because I do).

a day in leeds

I had a great day in Leeds!
I even tried to use a staircase as a slide. It worked! I was very scared at first (being a girl). But honestly...it was nothing to worry about!  (just the security guards) (:
