sofa repair, the plarn mat


You might have spotted the sofa in my living room already but here's a better shot of them.  We will have them reupholstered professionally in the future but it's pretty expensive so I will have to save up for it.  In the meantime I have bought new foam for the seats and backs.  Then I spotted an amazing fabric that was reduced from Rs 400 per metre to only Rs100 per metre! 


How is that for a bargain!  And it was reversible so I've done one sofa chair in each plaid, one with a old foam, the other with a new foam.  When I say "I've done them" I mean I've wrapped fabric around each sofa chair and fastened it to see what it looks like and to convince my MOM that it wasn't too bad!!  Now I have the challenge of stitching it in place.  I am really happy with the result and am quite happy to have them like this until they can be covered properly.  This



new little sitting area has become a favorite spot for the whole family.  Before, it was a space covered in boxes and boxes but they have been moved to the other end of the room.  The children love sitting here to read, My niece lounges in the sun most days and the my daughter-in-law  grab a quick sit-down whenever she can!
