Stitch & Hammer Upholstery

The first two days of the upholstery workshop learning the techniques and processes involved in mastering French stitching by creating a heart using hair, burlap and linen twine with the great at . It is harder than you might think to get those stitches the same length and in a straight line!

Just spending some time on Friday finishing up the back of my chair with some hand stitching. Also, looking at this picture I have realized I sit on the ground way too much for someone who reupholsters furniture but that probably won’t change! Now that I’m home I am finishing up dining chairs that go home this week.

One week in San Diego for professional development is coming to an end. What an exceptional time learning from the best in the trade and having access to them for all of my questions; I had a lot! Thank you to Louise at for all of the work you put in to make this all possible!
Huge shout out to the Masters ( ) for putting their work and lives on hold to be here! 🙌🏻

Finally remembering to post my summer stuff! Here is a fun redo for the elementary school library that I did just in time for their open house! It was a blast working with bright fabrics of all different colors! I don’t get to give back as much as I would like too because of time constraints but this was an easy way to donate to a great cause and feel good that hundreds of kids will get to read on these chairs and couches! 📚

From old floral to a new sharp grey to be the new centerpiece in their soon to be remodeled sitting room. The skirt is gone and those pinwheel arms are such a fun aspect of this couch!

Took two barrel chairs that didn’t match and turned them into a matching set with some changes in the design on the bigger chair. This shiny black chenille was so nice to work with.

So glad the customer chose this fabric for this chaise! This thing is a huge piece and needed a statement fabric! 🥰 swipe for the golden yellow before picture.

First corporate work space install is complete! Four benches and my first larger scale project working with vinyl. This project made me want to upholster all the walls in my house like this! Beautiful and cushy! My hubs helped install and my parents helped me problem solve when a few issues popped up, as they always do for most every job.

Ottoman bench delivered today and so glad because their pup uses this as a step to get up on the bed. 🐶 Bonus: the grey looks amazing in their house!

Schedule is booked out now through August 2022. Reach out now before next year books up entirely!

Quarantined at home with kids so the oldest and I are rewatching all the Marvel movies while I take apart my next project. I’d say that’s a great Tuesday! ☺️

Delivered yesterday to a repeat client. Love working with bright colors, like this teal 💕, and kind people! Next up: doing a fabric fix job on an ottoman!
