Pillow with border, bench cushion, chair

Client had leftover fabric that she loved but not enough to make a whole pillow so I made a border so she could still use this fabric.

 Here is a better picture of the cane chair I painted and reupholstered.

This cheetah cushion goes on an adorable bench but I don't have a picture of client's completed project.

Cheetah velvet envelope pillow

I have a neighbor, Katy Bell Hamnes who is a fantastic interior designer. Her home is gorgeous. And she's been kind enough to give me some projects and I've been meaning to get pictures of the pillows I did for her this summer.   I also did the desk chair slipcover for her daughter's room. If you live in Nashville/Brentwood and need a designer, let me know and I'll give you her info. She has such fun taste. Lot's of linen and velvet and just a great vision. She asked me to do these pillows for a client. She just wanted 16 inch envelope style and likes a thick, plush look so we filled them with 18 inch down inserts.

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.

New pillows

I did a small flat flange on these beautiful linen pillows.  My client wanted the medallion to be front and center so I lined up the fabric on both sides to show center.  I think one is sideways in the picture.  When it's midnight and I've just finished a project and try to take pictures, my brain isn't working at full speed.  I love how these turned out.

These pillows were for the same client, however she wanted them for her daughters new home.  She's a newlywed and just starting to decorate her first home.  What a fantastic mama to help pick out this beautiful fabric and help decorate!  I remember decorating my first home and the joy it brought me.  Brings back lots of memories.  I wish I had known how to sew 11 years ago!

My friend Katybell is a fabulous designer and she always has good projects for me.  These 3 Euros and bolster pillow are for a teen boy's room.  I don't know if he appreciates fine decor, but I sure do!  The bolster is this great masculine houndstooth and the grey fabric is perfect for a manly room.  

I did these 2 navy velvet leopard pillows for a sweet lady I met off of Brentwood, Buy, Sell, Trade.  I've met the nicest people through that site.  I also reupholstered the cane chair for her and did another pillow.  The navy bordered one with the awesome navy and white geometric print.
