It has taken 87 hours of work, £199.50 of tuition and approximately £150 of materials.
I had to bring it home at the end of term unfinished, and I'm not at all sure that my stitching and base lining are up to scratch, but I am thrilled to have finally completed the work and Husband has been very enthusiastic about my skills.. and I don't have to take it back and show the class do I?
I thought of reminding you of the original but decided anyone who wanted to look at all the photos could always hit the upholstery tag (I think that's how they work!). Less is more.

Very impressive! Looks great from here.
Really--impressive barely begins to cover it! (Apologies for the pun...) I can't imagine tackling that project, and I have a nearly identical piece in the most dreadful stripe just begging for attention! You did a lovely job.
Well done you - it looks beautiful and very professional. Hope to be invited to sit on it one day!
I'm very impressed!!
You're all very kind: from a distance I am very proud!
How truly 'Hausfrau' - like. That is, as a Hausfrau used to be. I am not sure that many women would be able to pull off recovering a sofa.
