Adventures in Upholstery.

Today was an adventure in upholstery.

My daughter Danielle had bought an old chair on Ebay and of course needed Mum to recover it and get it looking good as new. We couldn't find any vintage style material that would go with what she already had at home, so she settled on a plain blue. It doesn't show but the material has a really nice texture to it and she bought a beautiful patterned cushion to go with it as well.

First picture is how it looked before I started - the frame needs a good clean and a polish, but it is in great condition overall, no damage or cracks.

The second photo is after I made the calico covers for the foam cushioning. I used these covers as a template for the top covers.


Final picture is the finished product - I hope Dani is happy with it.
