It's not really my hobby...since I do it for a living as well...but I am pretty handy at reupholstering. I'm right in the middle of taking apart two tall-backed chairs I have in my dining room. They've been in the family for years (since Mr. Lixy was a little boy...maybe even before he was born), and though they were built very well (they don't make um like they used to), the original fabric is in a disgusting state of affairs. I have started taking off the old upholstery. I've made the patterns for the seats from the original seats. I have the textile I am going to use to recover them. And, I even took a few pics of the process thus far. I just haven't uploaded the pics to the puter yet because I want the whole process in one folder and it's easier and less time consuming to do it from one launch than to do it pic by pic. I'll show ya everything when I get the job done...but don't hold your breath cause I've been known to procrastinate this kinda stuff BECAUSE I do it all day at work. LOL!
Geezzzzzz Lil...I love your bead work! Absolutely beautiful pieces!
