Before

Stripped back

I’ve already added a couple of posts about the re-upholstery project I have been working on over the last few months in my evening class and I’m pleased to say it is finally complete.

I’m so happy with the finished product.  I used a lovely black and white herringbone fabric from Malabar for the main covering and used the same fabric but in a contrasting lime shade for the piping and buttons.  I think using this contrasting piping really helps the shape of the chair stand out.

It’s been quite a long process from striping the chair back to slowly putting it back together again and certainly been challenging.  The things that you think will be easy are always the most difficult ie putting the arms back on the chair frame once they were upholstered was no easy task!

It’s taken up residence in my sewing room for now but I think I may need to part with it at some point to free up some space and maybe make some money from my hard work.

For more photos have a look at the flikr set and if anyone is interested in purchasing do get in touch!

I’ve just taken delivery of my new industrial machine so I’m looking forward to a doing some heavy duty sewing for my next project x
