UPHOLSTERY PROJECT

These were another e-bay find. A beautiful set of 6 very early mahogany balloon back chairs. They needed total restoration. I glued the pieces back together,cleaned and waxed the wood then did a total re-upholstery job on them and covered them in a stone coloured french linen. Very nice classical look.

Singer Featherweight 221k

This was a great find

This is a great machine for quilters. I have sewn many a quilt on it. It sews a perfectly straight 1/4" seam. I had the motor reconditioned & the foot pedal and power lead rewired & all new rubber feet on the machine and the foot pedal. Now I have the perfect featherweight, it's great for taking to my holiday home in Norfolk for the summer as it is so light.It even had the little darning/embroidery foot still with it for free motion quilting.

reclamation yard find

Hi everyone I found these 4 chairs in a sorry state at my local tip. They cost me £4. The Victorian mahogany table was an e-bay find for £38. It needed to be glued back together and the castors cleaned and a good all over clean and wax. These are the before and after shots. I am very new to blogging so please forgive all the errors and faults with my blog.Annie.
