Monday Night Tear Down

by on Oct 25, 2010

(Gu-rosssss! Old leggings used as stuffing in a REALLY old rocker. Also, a pair of mens PJ pants.)

Sounds like a wrestling bout. Wait! It is like a wrestling bout. On the floor, on your knees, under a big ugly piece of filth. Yup, that’s what it is. Until you’re ready to build ‘er back up.  Take a look at what the ladies of Monday Night DIY Upholstery are working on.(Teacher’s pets.) There’s no order to these photos but progress photos will be  forthcoming.

Beth is one of the most diligent, methodical workers I’ve ever seen. She’s patient and focused. She’s my new upholstery role model.
