A thread to share the things big and small that you've started, finished, planned or conceptualised.

Inspired by the lovely posters on the What have you done in the garden today threads.

Ah that's very cool @Wilkolampshade. I did a upholstery course through the council a few years ago, turned out it was more of a workshop space with instructor - with people working on armchairs etc. I'm still at stretching and stapling to rectangular surfaces level 😅

Speaking of which, today I added some castor wheels to a wooden wine box, it'll be an ottoman of 2 stacked wine boxes + upholstery for an awkward corner in the hallway. Bought hinges a few days ago, I have lots of fabric to use up, just need to buy a second box, some foam and wadding.

Also did a few sewing repairs I'd been putting off. My goose t shirt has fresh feet.
