The Stuff by Lorraine Osborne
Top upholsterer Lorraine Osborne guides you in how to unleash creativity and flaunt your style through upholstering old chairs. Far too much furniture is thrown away--and with it the perfectly good materials and resources it contains that ought to be reused. It's time we changed that. It's not the furniture that's lacking: it's our imaginations. Includes how-tos and encouragement for designing your own fabrics. Choosing to reinvent a forgotten chair not only gives it new life, but inspires you to see the new in the old and the fabulous in the drab. All that you need are a few basic upholstery skills, an ability to work three-dimensionally, and an eye for shape and design--plus your own personal style and a bit of flair. Insider features include ways to calculate quantities of fabric accurately, and 12 of Lorraine's top tips for making your furniture projects amazing.
"Her bold, often playful pieces of furniture bridge the divide between art and upholstery. . Projects featured in THE STUFF demonstrate the quality of both her crafts(wo)manship and her imagination."
