DUET PIANO STOOL

I AM TOLD THEY ARE RARE TO FIND SO WHEN I SPOTTED THIS IN A JUNK SHOP FOR A FEW POUNDS, I HAD TO BUY IT.  IT THEN RETIRED TO MY CELLAR FOR QUITE A FEW YEARS.  HOWEVER, I WAS RUNNING OUT OF THINGS TO PAINT/RENOVATE SO ITS TIME HAD COME.  I HAD ALSO JUST BOUGHT SOME REALLY NICE MAP FABRIC IN FRANCE THAT NEEDED A HOME.

IT IS PAINTED IN A CHALK PAINT CALLED STOCKHOLM BY GRAND ILLUSIONS AND THEN FINISHED WITH A COAT OF SADOLINS OUTDOOR MATT CLEAR VARNISH.  IT NOW RESIDES IN A GUEST BEDROOM.

 HOBO BAG

This was a free download pattern on Pinterest.  I used a pair of denim jeans that cost £3 and some fabric I already had in my huge stash of 'might come in useful' fabrics!  

It is simple, other than pulling through from the top of a strap to turn it right sides out..  If I made it again, I would leave the curve at the top of the bag open, as it is top stitched anyway.
