@crustose & I reupholstered a chair!

The original chair seat had completely worn through- to the point that the previous owner had already done their own replacement top. it was good enough to make it catch our eyes, but we knew we could do better. The new seat is made from a quilted table runner Sage had found at the bins a while back & wasnt using

After removing the old top, taking a rough pattern (and then spending probably too much time fussing over the exact pattern placement) i basted the seam allowance inside and then we got to stitching! This is a ladder stitch- super easy to do and honestly gorgeous results. we went back through the original stitching holes on the pleather side, which helped keep the lines straight and the stitches even, and i think it looks as seamless as if we had sewn it by machine!

Its not 100% perfect- we had a lot of issues stapling the front edge under, and the quilting gets a little wonky towards the front (i think its mostly the piecing of the quilt, but it still annoys me!) but im so happy with the results & that we could give a new life to two things otherwise destined for landfill.
