I bought a sewing machine in 2021

A friend showed me how to use it later that year. After watching upholstery videos until the morning hours, I was hooked. The first thing I ever upholstered was a chair, all with a very basic home machine. Just shoving a bunch of fabric under the presser foot and replacing a lot of needles.

Later I bought an entire upholstery shop from a friend, her walking foot industrial machine, fabric and foam stash.
