Firstly, we would like to thank Vicky from Fully Re-Covered Bespoke Upholstery for reaching out to us to show us one of her latest reupholstering projects \u2013 It looks outstanding!<\/p>\n
This furniture piece was crafted using our 100% Melton Wool fabric, taking full advantage of the extensive spectrum of colours which we stock, this chair was reupholstered in a variety of different shades, including a combination of solid and m\u00e9lange colours.<\/p>\n
We took the time to catch up with Vicky to learn a little more about her, and what inspires her creativity, and discover the story behind this chair.<\/p>\n

1. It\u2019s great to catch up with you Vicky, please could you tell us a little more about yourself and what is it that you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019m an upholsterer based near Denby Dale in West Yorkshire. I run my own business from home, having made a total career change to follow my dream and work for myself doing something I love. I mainly undertake upholstery commissions working closely with my clients to breathe new life into old furniture. I also teach some beginners modern upholstery classes in Huddersfield.<\/em><\/p>\n 2. What is it that you enjoy the most about what you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n Bringing joy! Sometimes I do actually feel like I\u2019m on The Repair Shop as many of the chairs I work on have sentimental value and have their own individual story. I love to totally transform something and make it loved once again \u2013 and it makes me feel very privileged that my clients trust me with their treasured items.<\/em><\/p>\n 3. What inspires your creativity?<\/strong><\/p>\n Most of my work is client commissions so I am generally working to a brief but I do need to know what\u2019s out there in terms of fabric choices, what\u2019s on trend and what\u2019s practical so I can advise my clients. I get a lot of my fabric and interiors inspiration online and via mediums such as Instagram. <\/em><\/p>\n 4. What\u2019s the story behind this particular chair?<\/strong><\/p>\n It was about applying a number of different upholstery techniques all onto one chair. You may notice that the arms and wings are all different, so the design really lends itself to going a little crazy with the fabric! I was really drawn to using the vibrant colour palette of the Melton wools and just decided to have a little fun with it.<\/em><\/p>\n 5. Do you have a \u2018go to\u2019 fabric composition that you enjoy working with?<\/strong><\/p>\n Wool Wool Wool!<\/em><\/p>\n
