My love of fabrics, sewing and creating began at the age of 8 and was born of tradition, when my great grandmother started the tradition of all the girls in the family learning to sew, and the reward was a sewing machine at 18.
My husband bought me an upholstery course for Christmas, knowing that I love creative activities. The class was one night a week for five weeks, and it quickly became the highlight of my week. I looked forward to the work, the creating, and the camaraderie. Knowing that "practice makes perfect", I chose my dining chairs. They were simple, and there were 4 of them. And I was hooked!
Like many skilled trades, upholstery is best learned through time spent doing. I continually attend classes in both the traditional and modern methods of upholstery and while I have been upholstering for a few years now, I still take time out to revisit the basics. I am a founding member of the National Upholstery Association, dedicated to the support and advancement of the field of upholstery. I also belong to many professional upholstery trade groups on social media, granting me access to a world full of skilled professionals and mentors - lucky me!
