This workshop is a one-off! Book in or miss out! Five places only!

This rectangular foot stool with a piped trim rocks a different vibe to our other bench seats and ottomans. It is a fun piece of furniture that does double duty as a foot stool or extra seating. Learn some great upholstery skills and take home a piece of furniture that will add a bespoke touch to your interiors.

The foot stool measures 500mm wide x 400mm deep x  380mm high 

What’s included:

• Ply foot stool base with foam pad and wadding
• Piping cord and fabric for dust cover
• Use of sewing machines and other sewing equipment

What to bring:
