Community Reuse Shop

Upholstery

Gail & Mary run their own business called Finishing Touches and offered to do a workshop for us to show people how easy and cost effective it is to change the colour and/or purpose of items to fit in with their household. The ladies pre-select an item to use and order the fabric ahead of time. Workshop attendees are hands on from the start, helping to strip the item back to the bare bones. They are then shown how to use the old fabric as a template for the new covering and then how to secure it. The off cuts of the fabric are then turned into scatter cushions ensuring there is no waste. The items are then available to buy in our showroom.
