Missmilly your telephone table is so beautiful. Have you experience in upholstery? I love the colour and fabric together. Gorgeous!

Thank you. The only experience I have is self taught, I just take things apart carefully, then make paper patterns of all the pieces and use these to cut the new fabric, then I try to put them all back together again in the right places! It's been a lot of trial and error though, but it's lovely and so satisfying when it all comes together

I really want to give upholstery a go. Ive covered dining chair seats in the past. I was going to do an upholstery course but I had to cancel as funds too tight. Im a trial and error learn from my experience type person. I have a few old pieces I can practice on. Your pic is very inspiring.

I'd love to try a different colour to just old English white.

I'm too chicken.

Everyone's stuff looks awesome though!
