Squab Prototype No:1

This is my first attempt at a traditional Squab cushion.. I can't seem to find any instructions in any of the books I have for this particular design... So I got some 10 oz Hessian, Chinese horse hair and some mattress twine... A little over filled and a few mental notes along the way and I think when I crack on with the Scrim and ticking stripe versions they will be top quality!!...

Massive feather filled poof.... yet to be named!

This is quite a beast and of course can pretty much be made to measure.... the feathers get everywhere when stuffing it... but its worth it to get the shape and size you want... I plan to cover these in veg tan leather - its got an antique look and its what they call pull up as when you pull the leather it marks and creates a worn effect... it is LUSH!!......

HOW CUTE IS THIS...

This is the inner of a kidney shaped foot stool - the top has been prepared with springs I think and just needs padding and the outer sides padding and covering! I Love this and think I will do a few of these for the exhibition??....
