Lynn had seen some of my other patchwork armchairs on my website. She had two comfortable armchairs that needed a facelift. She wanted something in bright colours with a lot of pink blue and orange.
I had some help from the lovely Anna from Brighton Upholstery too as I had never done deep buttoning before. This was the outcome
If you want to know what it looked like before, here it is!
Did I mention the things you can make from old t-shirts are endless! There are whole books and websites dedicated to the topic.
I wanted to create some dresses that were stylish, comfortable and easy to make.
The “skirt” part I cut from slightly thicker jersey that I had. On some of the t-shirt dresses I adjusted the sleeve hole a little to make it less gapy by putting in darts.( I kind of like the slouchy armholes though.) Wear it with a contrasting sports bra. Plus in the summer its nice and airy.
It’s been a while since the last set of patchwork tub chairs. So I made two to make up for it.
Want a pair? Just get in touch.
Here are some more winter warmers. All made from old lambswool jumpers lined with the softest jersey t-shirt fabric.
Modelled by the lovely Lottie.
The theme at this years Playgroup Festival was “Woodland Creatures”.
So amongst some ears and tails I also made some of these hoods.
Soft velour frog, waterproof oilcloth frog.
And then there is badger and pink punk badger of course.
Here is the cute Matilda modelling them for me.
