This is the answer to our decorating prayers.

If you’re in the process of styling a house, you’ll know that upholstered dining and occasional chairs can cost an absolute fortune.

For some weird reason, single cushioned armchairs are in a price league all of their own.

Upcycling a lovely old vintage piece with new designer fabric is a brilliant alternative that can leave you with something really special, but who has time to enroll in a six-week DIY course?

The lovely folk at Vibes and Scribes have the answer; they’re hosting a two-part Upholstery Demonstration in their Bridge Street store next month.

The Vibes and Scribes Craft Shop have enlisted the experts at M&K Tailoring to introduce participants to the world of re-covering chairs and other furniture.

Tickets are a bargain €5 per part and redeemable as a voucher in-store on the day.

The Upholstery Demonstration takes place on Saturday, February 3rd at Vibes and Scribes Craft Shop, 3 Bridge Street, Cork. The first session runs from 10:30am to 11:30am and the second session runs from 12pm to 1pm.
