Heber, my awesome husband went and picked up these chairs for me. My client lives up Emmigration Canyon. She threw in an extra chair last minute, which was great because she had a huge roll of heavy weight blue linen to use up.

1st chair— BEFORE, small rounded back chair

2nd chair— BEFORE—Large chunky wingback

3rd chair— BEFORE– her dad’s old pea green scrolled back velvet chair

Chair #2— AFTER— we did a straight skirt with pleats in the corners

Chair #3 AFTER— we did no skirt, and ended with piping to let the legs show.

Chair#1—AFTER–we did a knife pleat skirt to show the legs. I wanted to make each chair skirt differently to add to the eclectic look of the chairs.

Chair #1— in the room with upholstered couch and yellow chair.

I did a band along the front edge of this chair to hug the shape.

Love the scroll back on this chair.

Here is a pic of the pillows I demoed…knife edge, mitered, bolster, ruffled, and piping pillow.

I made all the pillows out of oatmeal/cream painters drop cloth and used turquoise piping.

I am selling this collection of 5 pillows for $125 total plus $25 shipping. They will be available to ship on 3/10/12. (I need to make sure I don’t need any more pics for the ebook first)

They all have down inserts. The 3 square pillows are 19″, the bolster is 17″ long, and the ruffled pillow is 15″x24″ with a 1″ ruffle.

Email me if you want them, and I’ll paypal you an invoice! thanks.

First off Kirstin at kojo-designs is hosting a giveaway for my slipcover DVD today. The giveaway ends today….so head on over and comment to enter. I met Kirstin through the “Sew You Think You Can Sew” Contest. Congrats to her… she ended up winning the contest! She has great projects and inspiration on her blog….so check it out!

This chair was muslin covered underneath, and my client wanted to have a new slipcover made for it. She had some beautiful tan/cream velvet that she had me use.

CHAIR- AFTER…..she loves ruffles, but with the velvet it was going to be too thick to gather all the way around. She decided to just gather the corners.

She had me do a pillow too, out of some scraps she had. The stripe was a silk, so I lined those pieces with muslin to give it some more weight and stability. The ruffle is also only gathered on the corners.

This client was great and fun to talk to….she lived a bit further than I normally drive, but she kept me company and chatted with me during the whole fitting. My kind of gal!

COUCH–BEFORE
Here is her couch before…she wanted to switch out the back pillows for two cushions. We decided to go with the “touchdown”, which is 50% down and 50% polyfiber mix. In my opinion it’s the best of both worlds for a back cushion…”polyfiber” for the stability and “down” to keep it looking full and not flat and saggy over time. I took measurements and ordered her cushions from Ronco Industries in Sylmar, California.

COUCH– AFTER
She had some awesome pillows to top it off.

I had to get a pic of this awesome green dresser….she found it in pretty rough shape on the side of the road, and she rescued it. She fixed it up and painted it green and added the white hardware.

Front of the arm…she went with a white brushed twill fabric, but decided to use the wrong side of the fabric…it had some lines in it that gave it a linen look. Plus with pets, the brushed side just collects their hair…so good choice for her.

I love the feel of it all together….DARLING!

Another after

Back view— you can see the back cushions a bit better here…made the couch look a little more streamlined and tailored compared to the pillow back before.
