Re-upholstering my dining chairs. Finally getting rid of this leather. I've had these for 10 years and summers were brutal on leather. Time to breathe. #diy #upholstery

OG boat neck looked weird in the back. Added some short rows and a ribbed collar. Much better! #knitsky #knitting #summerknits

Weekend Sweater complete! I fear I over blocked it, but it's cozy. The alpaca yarn is very soft but light weight. #petiteknit #knitsky #knitting

Heart prints for Valentine's day ❤️ Linocuts are great for both prints and fabric. These coasters and wall hangings were some of my earlier experiments with printing on fabric. #printmaking #linocut #quiltsky #sewing #hearts #valentinesday#blockprinting

Also geeking over finding a matching pair of vintage buttons. Had one set of these white/grey marbled buttons by La Mode (B. Blumenthal & Co) and found a matching pair on eBay. The company was founded in 1897 which dates these cuties in 1993 and 1998. 27-32 years later they finally found their home!

The tags read La Mode, the fashion choice for more than 100 years, B. Blumenthal & Co inc, Carlstadt, NJ 07072, Div of Beasing Hemingway inc. washable & dry cleanable. #2323 size 25mm 1" Gray 2 Count

Seat complete! I lost rope chicken twice so there's extra starts/stops which sucks - but it holds up! Now onto the back 😅
