I do love to sew, but find that I don’t have loads of time to do a lot of complicated projects these days. I make all of my own slipcovers which tend to be very complicated, but I wanted a super easy project this week. I’ve had the fabric for awhile, but just didn’t have […]
When Should you Reupholster a Chair
I usually pay no attention to the fabric on chairs I buy because I know I can change that out easily. Oh I’m not that handy, but I know people who are. If you don’t like doing upholstery yourself, I highly recommend that you ask around to find a good place that is not too expensive […]
