My Own Made

I'm pretty much handy and very experimentative. If I can picture it in my mind, I'll go ahead actualize it. I love sewing pretty much if- I'm not working! I'll probably doing some scrapbooking or just being lazy- wandering with Kyle somewhere. Despite of my hectic schedule at work I still manage to do my hobby. One day we went visited to my cousin'n house and I saw a bar stool being trashed and waited to be picked up. The seat was stained and not pleasant to look at. So asked her if I could have it. They gave it to me and few days later I bought some remnant fabric from "Hancock Fabrics" one of my favorites store. Then I recovered it.

Voila!!!!




That's Kyle he was so excited when he saw it so he wants me to take his picture while sitting on it. I forgot to take the old picture. I didn't even think about it 'til I saw the finished product. I was very convinced and pretty much satisfied of the outcome.

So why not take it to the next level? My husband loves his recliner so much he even suggested that I can buy new recliner one day since I hated it but he'd still keep the old one. So I thought it was just a waste of money and space. This recliner was red and worn out. So I decided to reupholster it and so I did.

Voila!!!



I was so thrilled when I finished my hands and back were sore but it was worthed. I saved $300 for re-upholstering it. I bought this upholstery fabric very cheap from the remnant table it was suede just right to match my sofa.

Few weeks later I bought a bag of remnant from "Hancock Fabrics" so this is what I came up:




and our Kyle can't wait to see the finished product and of course wants his picture made with it.



Above are some of my own made projects if I am at home. I will post some of my creations sometimes. If you have any questions just leave me a comment on this entry and I am wiling to help...
