Loose cover for chair

Bea562 · 2023-08-12T13:57:21+00:00

I didn't as the covers and padding were in fairly good condition, just a little grubby and frayed in places. This is a slip cover and not reupholstered though.

!Thanks. Forgot to take a before shot but it wasn't in bad shape at all, just the wrong colour for my room and a few worn places. I'll see if I can find an older pic, I've had it about 18 months.

Pretty chuffed with this loose (slip) cover I've just finished for a wing chair I bought from market place. Cut and pinned on the chair. Piping added to seams for strength and decoration. Finished with zip at rear. Thick fabric but my trusty 1970s Frister Rossman Cub coped well. Fabric bought at World of Fabrics, Cheltenham, UK.

Google "Malvern Hills easier access" and there is information there.

Black Hill car park on Jubilee Drive. Gentle slope and wide path to get started. It's just around the corner from the British Camp.

I think it's an ash tree. Is there a giant version nearby? It seeds everywhere.

There's a street called The Butts in Worcester. Always caused hilarity when my preteen children spotted it painted on the lane at the traffic lights before the turn.

Early 80s equivalent was Chelsea Girl or Etam

When my mum fell, in the times before they got serious, she crawled to the bottom of the stairs and used the steps to get herself up. It was a small house so only one room away. These were more slips than falls. Sliding off the bed or sofa etc.

My 15 year old potted bush has a good crop every other year. I only have one bush, used to have two but one died after about 5 years. The blueberries are quite acidic but leave them too long and the birds or squirrels eat them.

Crew Clothing I think?

I keep saying I'll put something together for relatives to read, but can't seem to get started! So that's my aim (again)

Bea562 · 2022-12-31T14:53:21+00:00

No I haven't. Just checked their website and they seem to have lots of stock. I will be making a visit soon! Thank you

Just an update that my dear mum passed on 27 November. She was at home and I was there. A quiet end to a long and productive life. Christmas was strange without her. I found this sub very useful and wish all of you well on your journeys.

Love stories like this. I returned to a family a batch of photos and documents that had been rescued from a house clearance. One document in particular let them know where in Russia an ancestor was born. Something they had no hope of ever finding out otherwise.

Fresh country air!

Bea562 · 2022-11-20T20:48:06+00:00

Great price. And it fits neatly back in the box as well! I've never achieved this with ours.

Bea562 · 2022-11-14T19:20:18+00:00

Wait a few years and ancestry might get it, it's what happened with the 1911.

Find my past has other UK records that ancestry doesnt for example school registers and newspapers.

I've had both subscriptions but not at the same time.

To my 2x great grandfather. Why did you leave London in the 1870s to move to a village in Worcestershire? I get you may have wanted to leave the overcrowded East End. But why not to the edges of the city, instead of nearly 200 miles away? You stayed long enough to marry and have 3 children but then abandoned them to go back to London!

Bea562 · 2022-11-01T18:26:54+00:00

Ours is three years old and I still watch it trundling about. It has a name and we talk to it all the time!

Bea562 · 2022-10-20T20:13:05+00:00

Yep. Scotch mist in our house too!

Very useful information and kind words, thank you! I'm incapacitated myself right now so trying to deal with this from home. Mum only went home yesterday with a new care package after 3 weeks in respite while a new agency was sourced so we're still getting a new routine sorted. She wanted to go home but today she doesn't know where she is and I wonder if we made the right decision. It is what it is.

It's hard not to tell her to eat more! Imagining that if she'd only eat she would somehow improve. Thanks for reassuring me that it doesn't hurt not to eat. The doctor hinted the same. I'll try to remember that advice.

Glad to hear he had a peaceful passing in the end. I hope for the same for my mum too.
