Make Do and Create Chair Upholstery

Fabric and Textiles are lots of fun. There are no limits to how we can change our environment with a bit of time and effort.

I found this lovely Sheridan bedding last year.  In blue and white,   Antique French wallpaper was the design inspiration for Bowood, a beautifully hand-painted toile of flowers, foliage and even a pair of songbirds.   I've scanned the fabric and printed images of sections of the design onto photo paper to use in picture frames above my bed.  Instant vintage class for not a lot of money.

Question - what do you do when your tatty old brown chair spoils your lovely new blue bedroom?
Answer - find a staple gun, experiment with a paper pattern and reupholster the chair in matching fabric.  I'm really pleased with the result.  Next time I might try buttoning the upholstery.
