Custom Vintage Cushions

Just finished a custom order and thought I'd share the stages of making with you - First of all, selection of fabric and vintage buttons to match - Find cottons to match ground colour of fabric - Sew button holes, seams, and sew buttons on by hand - Finished! 

Nice Legs!

Just finished this recent commission  - Stripey fabric from Simon Boyd and gold paint from Ron Hammersley's Hardware shop. I struggled getting the shiny stripes straight (try saying that quickly!) on the round of the chair, but think its come out a treat. Hope the customer is happy!

Lloyd Loom Chair Before and ....

This weeks commission project is a battered old Lloyd Loom chair with a separate sprung seat unit, its the first one that I've done so I'm wrestling with it a bit! But fingers crossed its going to look super glam when its finished. 

Stages:  - Sprung unit, cover in hessian, use rubberised horse hair and felt to stuff top and sides, calico cover, cover in Dacron, make the top cover including piping.

I still need to sew the top fabric cover together and paint the chair. 

Before & After Custom order

This weeks before and after...a commission piece, a customer brought me their mother's bedroom chair and needed it revamping to suit their own taste. Shiny stripes in green and brown do the trick - I hope they like it!
