Well,
After fighting with my new sewing machine, reverting back the my 'old faithful, breaking my overlocker, getting fairly serious cramps in my wrist, stabbing myself with countless pins and staying in the studio until well after 11 last night, I have finally finished my first 'PROPER' upholstery challenge and I must admit, I could have wept with relief when I put it on and it fitted perfectly!
My lovely lady customer was absolutely thrilled to bits with it and clapped her hands. Her reaction has absolutely made my day!
I forgot to take my camera to get photos of it but will pop back and get some very soon. She has promised to recommend me to anyone who'll listen. A big thanks to the Sewing Machine Centre in Dunfermline for giving her my details. I have a feeling they are going to be very good people to know...
NOW! I'm off to a wedding tomorrow (wearing a hand made accessory or two) at the beautiful Balbirnie House http://www.balbirnie.co.uk/, visiting the Affordable Vintage Fair on Saturday http://www.vintagefair.co.uk/, then off to Alton Towers for some fun, thrills more childlike, sugar fuelled excitement than the human body can handle.
