Complete Transformation

Here is the vintage handkerchief after all my modifications. I really like the design, but am not so sure about the primary color scheme. Anyway, learned a lot for the next ones. Sewing techniques I used were: thread couching, decorative machine stitching, free-motion using embroidery foot. Even the back looks pretty cool! Need to remember that for future projects.

The Chair is Complete!

Actually I finished it just before Christmas. A gift for my niece who happened to need a chair! I did pretty well, I think, although there are things I'd like to improve for the next one. Which is sitting in my living room waiting....

Someday I'd love to do upholstery professionally!!
