What the Dickens ?

Large Suite in Jim Dickens fabric. 

We were recently delighted to be given the opportunity to work with fabric from Jim Dickens Olympos range on this large, stunning suite which was originally made to order by Gascoigne Designs in around 2003.  Working in conjunction with a large national re-upholstery company we are proud that we are entrusted to carry out  work on their behalf.....it means a lot to us that people who know and understand re-upholstery have the faith and trust  in us to not only carry out the work for them but also to rely on us look after their customers as if they were our own. 

The large pattern repeat on this beautiful fabric meant that a lot of prior planning had to be done before even removing the old covers and certainly before putting our scissors anywhere near the new fabric. Many hours of planning, cutting, machine sewing , upholstering and tailoring have to be invested in work like this but I hope you would agree that all of this effort was worth it. 

This was a tricky and labour intensive job from the word go, even getting the suite out of the customers house was a challenge in itself with the furniture going nowhere until the castors had been removed, we then had to lift it over metal railings and navigate our way through the customers trees and shrubs before loading it into the van. So getting it back into the property with pristine new upholstery was even more of a challenge but as always we got there in the end with thanks to my 'Right Hand Man' ...aka my son Ewan. 

Long unsociable hours and plenty hard graft but Its jobs like this that make all the effort worthwhile.

​Thanks for looking :-)
