A friend invited me to take an adult school class and I selected Upholstery. It seemed like something creative to do after a technical profession as a registered nurse. My first class provided me with skills to build on, to advance to larger projects, and the ability to be more creative with fabric, paint & wood repair. I believe that it’s important to recycle, so many of my projects include recycled chairs, sofas, and benches. One of my favorite projects was a small settee I recycled from a friend’s back porch. Our instructors are helpful, patient, and very knowledgeable. My classmates are now friends that I see outside of school. This class turned out to be a great way to move into retirement!
