Piping

Practicing some new skills learned here and here:

footstool after (echino)

Using some tools of the trade(s):

tools of the trade

A bit of an improvement from the original, I think:

footstool before (echino)

It wasn't all that bad to start with but it certainly wasn't 'me'.

The new fabric is Echino purchased here.

Have a happy christmas and a great weekend!

    It's gorgeous. We have an ottoman that was handmade by Ms L's Mum and Dad that needs a bit of a revamp. I haven't been brave enough yet to give it a go.
