I love the idea of turning old furniture into something completely different and unique to give it a new lease of life, not only is it environmentally friendly but also creatively challenging and fun. I can draw on my background as a textile designer, use all the things I have learnt over the years from my dad as a carpenter, and the sewing techniques I learnt on Rachel's Textiles sewing courses. My dog has enough beds now! So it's time to start selling some.
