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
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.
