Giving My Old Lounge Suite a 2nd Chance

1 Material
We've had this lounge suite for 24yrs, and last had it covered before our daughter was born 19years ago. Time for an update.................
After re-writing my beautiful blue bookshelf the lounge suite looked really dreary. So I decided to reupolstering the suite myself. Oh gosh. Not having done this before I was full of enthusiasm went looking for material and decided on 2 patterns in a lighter material (considering the kids are no longer little). Love the material
I used the old covers as a pattern, and it was easier than I had thought. I used the birds at the bottom of the suite and the geometric shape for the Cushions. I had spare material which matched the colors and make covers for the scatter Cushions aswell.
I overplayed with handkerchiefs and dollies. I've had them packed away for ages, and finally could use them.
I love the end result.......

It really has lightened up our lounge area. But I would never have tried this when the kids were younger.
