Am I the only one who struggles to keep up to date with social media? When you’re busy dealing with rotten innards, make-overs on sofas and sorting fabrics, even the fridge gets neglected…rotten blueberries from April…shameful! Fridge all clean now, last sofa gone home and fabric remnants selling fast…still some lovely pieces left…sell-off will continue through September…come and grab a bargain if you’re nearby.

I have learnt never to assume anything…ever…just gets you into trouble or leaves you disappointed. So, a tip to budding upholsterers…always check the centre points on every panel of the piece you’re working on…it might not be where you expect it to be! You have been warned 😝😝😝. At least the dachsis are happily random on this Thornback & Peel fabric which brightens up the day. ☀️

During my 10 years as an upholstery tutor, one of the things I always drum into my students’ minds is…never use the words ‘just’ or ‘easy’ in upholstery. Today, however, I used these words…a very rare occurrence to strip 4 dining seats in less than 10 minutes!! My thanks to the previous diy-er who stapled infrequently using 6mm length staples…a st*****rs delight 😂😂😂👯‍♀️NOTE to current and future students…don’t do as I do, do as I say! 😝😝😝 See story for video evidence!

Why does a recent holiday feel like a lifetime ago? Twas like a dream, being on a small Greek island, no crowds, sun, sea and ouzo…then reality kicks in…work piling up already and posting on IG resumed…it’s been ages! Take note of this sofa…..it is the VERY LAST ONE that I will do…no more heavy stuff…who can I pass this work on to? Hope all you hard workers are keeping cool…I’m lucky, takes a lot to heat me up 🤪🤪🤪🔥🔥🔥Wish you a happy summer 2023 ☀️

Lovely to have A back to make more progress on ‘Stanley’. I get all students to name their project piece, especially when it has sentimental value. A is so excited to be starting on the outer panels with the lush Lynx fabric and F is still stuffing and tying! Last pic…out on dog walk seeing things that no-one else does! Pre-paradise lunacy! 🤪🤪🤪

Working with great fabrics makes hard work a little less tiring! What tried to look like a chair is now a beautiful piece of functional furniture and the old Monk’s bench is definitely more inviting (HoH Avalon). The Multiyork sofa’s facelift is almost complete (Linwood Cosmos Velvet)…..now counting down to my escape to paradise 📆🏝️

Love it when the outer back gets closed off…the ‘nearing completion’ sign! This rough old thing getting a mahoosive makeover with an awesome fabric, whilst Cheryl and Amie enjoy a workshop day with moi…I have such fab students (and customers)…but …annual leave in paradise looming ☀️⛱️🏝️🐙🍹

Students, more students, cushions, more cushions and something that resembles a chair…and breathe! The upholstery world has gone crazy…the work is piled high, no wonder IG posts take a back seat…but…it’s nearly May…long holiday in sight! 🏝️☀️🕶️🌊⛱️⏳
