Upholstery

New Skill

I was asked recently by a friend if I could re-upholster a box cushion stool. Never one to say no (and let’s be honest there is always a You Tube video to help) I embarked on the task.

Thrilled by the result, she asked if I could do the same with a small chair. Undaunted – off I went again. This was slightly more difficult and challenging. Who knew de-constructing and removing staples could be SO addictive and satisfying?

I am hoping some more jobs come along as I have definitely found another skill worth perfecting!

I can’t tell you how excited I am about my new Juki TL-2200QVP sewing machine. It cuts through layers like butter and how did I ever manage to sew without a knee lift for all these years? I have the means now to make the leather bags I have always wanted to attempt. Coming soon…

Custom Order Customers

Forgive me but I feel the need to let off steam. I am always delighted when a customer contacts me with a request for a custom order. I may be naive and too trusting but I usually undertake the job without asking for a deposit. I assume that if the order backfires I will always…

I have been given some beautiful fabrics which really need making into gorgeous bags. This particular silk fabric has become a washbag with a waterproof interior and is currently on sale in my Etsy shop.
