These are made of recycled sweaters, upholstery and a few mother-of-pearl buttons.

I had no idea what this couch even looked like until a few months ago, since it was hidden beneath a terrible slipcover in my grandparent's basement. Amazing, isn't it?

I reupholstered an old couch that a coworker picked up on the side of the road for me. I used the old fabric as pattern pieces, but left the stuffing as is. I used wide-striped corduroy material for that velvety look at a cheaper price.

Just to give an idea of furniture prices in New Zealand, this is the cheapest chair available at the Warehouse, which is just about the cheapest chain of randomness in this country. The above chair was originally covered in itchy black fabric with a tendency to pill. It was NZ$40. We bought it the day we moved into our flat because, well, we didn't actually have any seating.

I bought a metre of this jersey fabric at Geoff's Emporium on Dominion Road for $4 and went to work. The finished product isn't fantastic, but it's a dramatic improvement until we find some chairs that we love.
