Ooh bibbly I love that - I've been looking for one of those at the CBSs but haven't seen one so far. Now I've seen yours I really REALLY want one. I couldn't bear to think about selling it if it were mine.

Pennib, that's what I was thinking, but with a crocheted top. I'm still not sure though. I think I'll wait a bit and see how I feel in a couple of weeks, things usually come to you if you don't rush into doing anything.

This is a mirror using an old mirror tile,piece of wood for backing and shells from beach and cs. The crab was already dead I hasten to add Considering I made this a loonng time ago it has lasted very well and hardly any shells have dropped off. Well I did use 'hard as nails' glue

Hi all,

I'm from the Sewing Room, but have found this thread and am loving it.
My house is a different style, so I have never done SC - thinking about it though!

I would love some advice please.
My daughter is pregnant and would love to use a chair that has been in the family for years as a Nursing Chair.
However the upholstery foam has broken down and needs replacing and recovering.
I would tackle just the recovering, bur replacing the foam is going to be harder as it needs to mitred at the edges to look good.

Can anyone advise, or recommend an Upholsrerer in the Newcastle area to get a price?
I've no idea what it will cost, but the actual size is 24" x 45" and I have taken some pics.
Any advice appreciated.
