This client was ready to get rid of the country blue gingham that she’d had for about 10 years, and go a with basic white. Her back cushions were attatched, so I cut them off. They had a single row of piping originally (pillow style) and we ended up boxing them to give them a cleaner look.

When I cut off the back cushions the filling wasn’t contained…it was just loose polyfil that was coming out. I knew she was going to need to be able to take off the covers and wash them. So I made muslin covers to contain the batting.

Here is the before of the loveseat…blue/cream gingham.

After…white denim slipcovers with the back cushions “boxed” (2 rows of piping).

Front of arm

Couch…after

Couch and loveseat together.

You can barely see the lapped zipper on the back corner… just the way I like it.

Here’s the chair before…a little thread bare and worn through in a few spots. My client got this great heavy weight chenille type fabric from Joanns, during their 50% off sale last month.

Chair Before

Arms were worn through…but the chair was a great scale and super comfy and a nice size for the kids.

Here is the amazing after….I FELL IN LOVE with this chair. Look how amazing that fabric is on that shape of chair. I am not gonna lie…it took some thought to make all those wavy lines line up. I chose a stripe (orange/red) that I wanted to center, stuck pins in my chair down the center on the original fabric. Then when cutting out the cushions I centered the same stripe.

Close up of front of arm.

I ran piping along the seam where the back connected to the inside arm.

Another after. Sorry it’s a little blury I am getting used to my new 50 mm. lens.

Ottoman before…simple musin covered footstool

My client chose an orange chunky weave fabric for the ottoman and we did box pleats all the way around. LOVE IT!!!

I also did another chair for her out of brown fabric with small turquoise chenille dots on the fabric. All my pics turned out really bad, the lighting in the basement didn’t work out so well. I still wanted to show the fabrics together, I loved the eclectic non matchy fabrics together.

Here is a close up of the turquoise dot fabric.

Her kids were super excited about the new furniture and helped haul everything in from the trailer for me….and called dibs on their new favorite spots.

Side note–
I took my boys to Lamb Day in Fountain Green last weekend…Another parade with candy! My boys were ready with their bags. We hung out with Heber’s side of the family for the parade and had lunch. Heber and all his cousins used to be the ones in the road with their bags, now it’s all the grandkids.

This is for all the local ladies….Home Fabrics in Orem is having all their cotton prints on sale for $3/yd (50% off) this weekend only. Well they aren’t open on Sundays, so for tomorrow only.

I wish I could stop in, but Heber is working and a fabric store with three boys is pure torture.

Side note #1- Here are some pics from my family reunion at Bear Lake.

Here’s Luke…he’s ready to hit the pool….again (3 times per day)

Here I am with Logan…getting ready to see the fireworks over the Lake. It was an amazing show.

Heber and I at the firework show.

Some of the cousins stealing a snuggle from Milo.

Me with two of my sisters.

Heber loved the jet skiis so much…he wanted to go without me, so he wouldn’t have to drive slow.

We headed up into the mountains for a campfire and got eaten alive by mosquitos!

Here’s Carter with his little cousin.

Here’s my whole family….6 kids and momma. 2 boys and 4 girls.

My boys loved the jet skiis too…except Luke, he’d only let me take him for a ride because he knew I’d drive slow.

Here’s Logan holding baby Milo. Milo was hanging onto Logan’s ears for dear life.

Luke lounging with Mr. Blankie on the beach.

Here are 8 of the 21 grandkids.

Logan talked Grandma into going for a ride. We all had a great time even though the Lake was really high and most of the beach was gone.

I am excited to say that after planning the last 4 reunions…my brother has offered to plan the next one!!!!
