I'm trying to create a bodice block/sloper. I feel bad going through so much calico but I know it will save time and fabric in the long run.

I'm recovering this chair at the moment. I have some green furnishing fabric I got at the second hand store a while ago which I am using. So far I have cut out the fabric pieces and sewn the pieces that need to be done by machine, there is some hand stitching and working out how to do the buttons to go. I'll be posting photos when it is done.
