It was a headline we couldn’t resist. This post is about a group of ladies who meet in the village hall every Tuesday to rescue old (sometimes antique) furniture and restore it under the watchful gaze of master upholsterer Hugh Pamplin.
The cover-up in question is the transformation which takes place when the final layer of new material is carefully stitched in place.
There are a few vacancies for new members. So if you have the odd bit of Chippendale, or failing that, Parker Knoll, which deserves a new lease of life and pride of place in your sitting room, please come along, and learn as you go. No previous experience required.
There is a small charge to cover the cost of the village hall. And of course you need your own chair, pouffe or whatever, materials and tools, but Hugh can advise on these.
Tuesdays – 10.30 am.
