Going a little outside my comfort zone with this project! My first attempt at working on furniture. It was a bit of an adventure and I filmed the whole process.
✩Things mentioned✩
Wood Stain (this is an affiliate link): amazon.com/gp/product/B0063KFJHK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0063KFJHK&linkCode=as2&tag=angeclay04-20&linkId=5d3b1a5bd0242b62d2d91089c1e684ca
Wood Wax (this is an affiliate link) : amazon.com/Howard-FW0016-Feed-N-Wax-Conditioner-16-Ounce/dp/B001BKQYGW/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=angeclay04-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=75bd4ce16b3eacd4ecc601a62b471bed&creativeASIN=B001BKQYGW
I was really pleased with both those products (though I don't have a lot to compare them to). I bought them myself from a local hardware store.

The velvet was from a shop that closed in the garment district. The gimp was from Daytona Trims in NYC.
As I said in the video, the couches themselves were from Lloyd's Antiques which is on Long Island.
After filming this I discovered a mark on the bottom of the chair that says "1880 3 piece Settee Set, saved from destruction in 2002" so that is probably when the foam and beams were added!
Between the horsehair and molded tacks I feel pretty confident in saying these are truly from the victorian era. But if any historical furniture enthusiasts know more I'd love to learn!
I'm not sure where the tools were from, I just borrowed them from my dad! But the staples themselves were from Home Depot.

About me:
My name is Angela Clayton, I’m a twenty year old designer and seamstress who is currently living on Long Island, in NY.
I’ve been sewing for five years and focused on period costumes and original designs for the last three. I make costumes for fun and to expand my skill set so I can hopefully get a job in the industry someday.
