Pillows for a teen girl's room


 I apologize for the bad quality iPhone pictures.  The sunlight streaming in didn't help either.  I made this chevron pillow for a friend's daughter's bed  It is linen with white linen piping and an invisible zipper.  Hard to see the piping in this angle.



This is the cutest orange/white fabric.  Client wanted just a simple Euro without piping.  Her daughter has twin beds so I made one for each bed.  Again, sorry for the bad lighting!
 Here is a shot of the room and beds with the orange Euros.

Slipcovered Chairs and ottomans

These slipcovers are made out of drop cloth!!  I wish I had taken a before picture. 
Cubed ottoman slipcover with white denim.  Please excuse the mess in the background.  I was sorting out my children's clothes to sell and give away.  My friend Lydia found a picture of a gorgeous cubed ottoman in Veranda and used that as her inspiration.  She wanted it very simple.  No pleats.  I used piping around the top and the 4 corners have a cute stitch on each side of the seam.

Here is a close up of the stitching on each side of the seam.  This is actually another chair she has in linen but I don't have a close up of the ottoman stitching.  It looks just like this.  I love the extra detail it gives on such a white piece of furniture.
I have a client who is a designer and she has me sew a lot of things for her clients.  This particular client was redoing her bedroom and found this great ottoman at Habitat Restore for a great price.  She really wanted to try out the new trend of mixing fabrics and textures with an ottoman.  The top is a silver velvet and the band is a grey and white small chevron.  The skirt is a textured zebra print and inside the pleats are the silver velvet.  What a fun ottoman!  This was more difficult than I anticipated due to the thickness of the fabrics.




Reupholstered Chairs

Adorable chevron chairs.  This is the after shot.  I absolute love this fabric and love these chairs!  These are for a lucky little lady who has the cutest room.  Her mom found these old, yellow floral chairs and had a hard time seeing them for the beauty they could be.  Her designer talked her into buying them and I'm so glad she did!  When I started removing fabric and staples I found 4 layers of fabric!! This is the 5th time they've been reupholstered so I would say they've held up well and have a lot of life left in them.  I also sanded the legs and restrained them a darker walnut color.  These were a labor of love because I would've been thrilled to have these as a little girl.
