I've done many bay window cushions over the years, but especially like this one. This is for a baby girl's room. The fabric chosen matches so well with the floral motifs on the side. Of course, for those of you who opt for a softer approach, I have lots of other fabric to do so. Can even provide a thicker cushion insert and lots of toss cushions to coordinate.
WOW, last post back in 2017! I almost forgotten about this blog and I am not sure if anyone even visit here anymore. Over the years, we have moved on to FB and Instagram. But there's still something more nostalgic about this. Its like a personal journal, allowing me to capture each project and detailing the progress of our reupholstery journey. We had over the past 20 years reupholstered so many different sofas, armchairs, beds, headboards..... the list goes on.. taking pride in each project and knowing that this is also our small contribution to saving the environment and keeping it Green. The job may be mundane --stripping off old covers, re stuffing with new foams, putting on new covers, giving it a new look. But the results are definitely rewarding. We gave a new lease of life to otherwise old and discard upholstery. Many a times, our clients were shocked and surprised with the changes we had made to their old sofas and chairs. And because of this, they ha...
Sometimes we really feel like a "sofa doctor" We diagnose and determine what need to be done to make your sofa shiny and new again. Take the case of this L shape sofa that we had recently reupholstered. After stripping the sofa at the workshop we found that the casings for all the loose cushions are torn. The fibre fills inserts in the backrest cushions had lumped together and hence the backrest cushions look and feels dreadful. So instead of just reupholstering with the new fabrics, we had replaced all casings with calico which is much more durable than the tissue types that most store brought sofa provides. We had also tediously loosen the fibre fills that had balled together and also top up with more fills to give it a fuller look. The results an almost "new" sofa that can continues to serve you for many more years. Notice how the backrest are drooping and the seat cushions, especially the one on the chaise and ottoman had shifted. Torn tissue casi...
Choosing a fabric for the sofa is a little more taxing than choosing a new dress at the shop. You are not able to try it out in the fitting room. With so many available choices these days, it can be pretty overwhelming; especially when u are only given some sample swatches to look at. So I hope these tips will help “ease the pains”and make your selection a breeze.. 100% Natural fibres or Synthetic Fabrics With our hot and humid weather here in Singapore, cotton definitely provides a cool respite and is one of our more popular choice here. However, cotton being cotton is also very absorbent and are prone to creases and shrinkage. If you are using it for a removable covers and plan on washing it often, I will advise making it a size bigger to allows shrinkage. Being absorbent also means absorbing all stains quickly! So preferably choose one that is treated with some kind of stain protector. Linen and silk are more delicate and I will not recomm...
