I've been collecting old tapestries from the Op Shops for ages now. I can't pass them by. In the past I've made cushions or just stashed them, until I saw these! Well, not these particularly, but this type of thing. Amazing!
The stool was covered with funky pink and grey vinyl, but had ripped and degraded conveniently. It took about 2 hours! I couldn't be happier, unless I owned one of the chairs in the link!

| Had to sew a bit on the side of the puppy (in blue)... might need to embroider over the seam. It looks a bit odd. |

| Our staple gun couldn't cope with the Masonite so I ended up using a thick nylon cord and pulling it in. The braid is old too. |

Very nice! I love how the girl is off center. Intentional or not, it adds a bit of quirkiness that fits.
