Before & After // Sewing Stool
Thursday, August 2, 2012 About a month ago, Chris found this sad looking vinyl stool. We think it was used for keeping someone's sewing materials tidy, however, it no longer has a tray. Immediately, I knew that it would be fun to reupholster this in some fun modern fabric.
First, I ripped off all of the old fabric using a staple remover tool and flat nose pliers. Then I disassembled the back and the top. The top I covered just like a dining chair seat. And for the sides, I used a cardboard tack strip to fold and staple a straight line, then wrapped it around to the bottom, made a hem, and tacked it down. Viola!
The little cabinet/tray compartment will easily fit an organizer to store sewing/knitting supplies in. It's the perfect addition to a craft studio! Unfortunately, it won't be in my studio as this piece is for sale in our shop on etsy.
