I haven't blogged anything for a while as Iv'e been busy doing some upholstery classes. It was an opportunity for us to learn some other skills within the interior architecture field. I have been able to upholster stools and chairs, and make a bespoke curtain with a variation of pleats so if i ever decided to start making curtains i have an example of what the customer could choose. I thoroughly enjoyed myself, and cant wait to start crating more pieces. Here are some photos i took along the way to show my progress, and so i have an idea of how i did it in the first place. 


First I took all of the original material out and the nails and staples. 
 Here I added the wadding to give extra padding.
Carefuly stapled the material on, it has to be pulled taught, so there isn't any excess material.
 The corners are quite tricky, just had to make sure i took my time.

Carefully folding the edges to look like this.
 Trim off the excess material.
The stool should be soft and taught.
Added the bottom lining on to make it look professional.
 Here is the finished stool with the legs attached.

I was really pleased this this as it was my first attempt, and it went very well.
