After carrying out some light research for my last post I've come across some amazing patchwork used to re-upholster sofas and chairs. There's something for all tastes including old denim jeans to upholster a chair for a teen's room.
Sofas are seem to be high on the patchwork 'list' and you must agree that reupholstering a sofa of chair offers a stunning end result. If you want to try your hand at patchwork I'd suggest you start small, say with a cushion cover and progress from there. Send off for free fabric samples to get you used to coordinating colours before you set to work cutting up your old curtains or clothes!
Once the 'bug' has bitten you can move up to more complex designs or more challenging projects. There's plenty of help via the internet and many forums and groups you could join if you want to share your idea or simply need inspiration and guidance.
Still don't like the idea of sewing or simply haven't got the time? - no problem as you could always purchase faux patchwork duvet covers to get the look and without close examination friends and family probably won't notice!
