    I have an arm chair I need re-covered

      I am so pleased with the result of Ian's work covering a rather complicated design of chair. I would reccommend him as extremely hard-working and a pleasure to have around if he works in your home.

      I found Angela and her husband to be very nice people. Aswell as accepting me to do the work I was much appreciated with their hospitality: provided BnB, giving me 3 meals a day and helping with transport costs.
      In the end it the armchair restoration was a combined efforts with me and Angela's husband; whilst I was making 2 slipcovers, an inner one from Calico to protect the outer one from the foam, Angela's husband took care of further upholstery of custom-made walnut wood faces for the arms of the chair.

    I need a Word document (33 pages) tidying up.

      Ian did a very good job in turning a clumsy Word document into something that can be now distributed. Good clear Contents page and nicely laid out and easy to read. Ian got it spot on after I reviewed only once.

    Loose slipcovers for my sofa and for my ottoman, made to fit.
