upholstery boot camp

Over the weekend I met my faraway bestie and we took a three day upholstery boot camp.

 modhomeec is located in the SoBro section of Indianapolis

 After a brief overview, we got started tearing down our chairs, it was a lot of work.

double welt was needed to trim my chair, it's very easy to make and looks professional

And here it is now, it's not perfect but I'm very happy with the new look.  If you have any interest in this type of class, I highly recommend modhomeec.  It's a fun, inviting atmosphere and we learned so much in just a few days.  Shelly Leer is a great teacher and students get lots of individual attention, plus her husband bakes a different treat for the boot campers each day :)
  A little about SoBro--what a great area!  Lots of great restaurants, unique shops and the Monon trail is a wonderful place for a walk, run or bike ride.  Indianapolis is a friendly city with so much to do--the choices are endless and affordable.

 Locally Grown Gardens carries an eclectic mix of food and kitchen items.
