Last year, I bought a footstool. I thought it would be fun to buy something old and give it a new lease of life. I never got round to doing anything with it. It just sat on the floor in the corner of my studio. When I started printing, I decided I'd get round to giving my poor footstool a new look and I FINALLY got it sorted yesterday!


Footstool : Before

 Footstool : After
I printed the design on to the fabric, added new stuffing, nailed the fabric to the base and then added the trimming.

  6. Haha, EVERY border terrier should have one!
    Kipper is a great name! The breeder called ours Daisy, but we think she should be called shoe-brush! :P
