I love this antique stool my mom gave me, mostly because it's from her though. She gave me it along with a roll top desk when I got engaged. I treasure both. That being said, it was time to ditch the butterfly embroidery on the seat (for now anyway).
Sorry mom.
Before
It took me most of the day but I managed to knock out a little slip cover for the stool. It's really a beginner job but it freshens it up:)
I love the pleats. It goes with the chair in the background. Hey I am in need of a seat cushion for a chair, can you whip one up for me, lol! I am so not a sewer. Before my mother died she gave me a new sewing machine but I am still having a hard time taking it out of the box even though she died in 2002. Maybe one of these days I'll have the courage!
Thanks Meg. Don't look too close, I need to get a few more projects under my belt.
I'm sad for your loss. I hope you find the courage, when you're ready, to open your sewing machine and when you do you have as much fun as I'm having with it. Keep me posted:)
Thanks. I found the trunk at a antique store on Hood Canal,WA. The funny part is that when I bought it and the owner had lost the keys. To this day I have no idea if there's anything inside.
