    I have recovered or reupholstered my dining room chairs twice before. Most recently was last February when Joann was having a half-off sale on upholstery fabric. I noticed that you didn't put fresh batting and cushion to the foot stool. I had to remove old fabric, batting and cushion on my chairs just once because they were so old and flat already. I then took the base of the chair to the upholstery shop so they could cut the cushion to the size of the seat base. My dining room chairs are so comfy to sit on now that there's a brand new cushion and batting on it. What I would like to recover next is my sewing chair. Thank you for the chance to win.

Cartwright Seam Ripper Giveaway

Welcome my friends and those who maybe visiting for the first time! Today, I am so excited to introduce you to a true West Virginian Artesian, Greg Cartwright , of Cartwright's Creations . His items are sold in historical shops throughout West Virginia. He is a lover of reclaimed wood of historical nature and creator of works of art! Greg (Cartwright's Creations) & I A note from Greg Dear Readers I have provided two seam rippers to Lisa so she can have one and one to give away. They are both made from beautiful old growth oak which was reclaimed from the original train depot in Weston (Lewis County), West Virginia. Train service was established in Weston around 1880. This wood is representative of a great part of my passion for this venture in woodworking for me – that is finding wood with a story to it. I must admit that my main focus is pens and pencils but it really doesn’t matter what I am making as long as it is from wood (although I have recently added pens...
