<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">most recently it was this mid-century modern armchair/stool combo by Australian brand DANISH DELUXE. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My client (a lovely lady who has recently moved into a Gerringong retirement village) has had the chair and its matching stool since buying it new, direct from the maker, in Canberra in the early 1960s.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was a lot of work to reupholster, no thanks to the previous (<i>lazy !!*@*#!!*</i>) upholsterer who covered over the original upholstery rather than doing the right thing and taking it back to the frame. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But, after a lot of work, it came up beautifully, largely thanks to the client's wonderful bold choice of fabric - TWINING by James Dunlop Textiles.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was particularly pleased with the new outside back - where I was able to make full use of the full width of the big pattern in one piece, from wing to wing, a big improvement over the previous botchy job.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">BUT... the coldest months of the year (</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">July & August) are </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">still ahead of us.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Did you know that simple procedures like blocking drafts in our houses can significantly affect interior warmth, and also reduce heating bills? It's true!</span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizFl9ffsTa8t6guIpUgue6mYHJMcmOuKMBrPcweA67ylHdiWPOkGymSivM6swgAijUrxGZpCKYlO9itQjIw1TVwuHgrYq_uKYZWrB1aKFg9QhxI_eyiPZ4oR5SR4ATgrh3SnvmM9viVL4g/s1600/DDodgers+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1534" data-original-width="1600" height="382" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizFl9ffsTa8t6guIpUgue6mYHJMcmOuKMBrPcweA67ylHdiWPOkGymSivM6swgAijUrxGZpCKYlO9itQjIw1TVwuHgrYq_uKYZWrB1aKFg9QhxI_eyiPZ4oR5SR4ATgrh3SnvmM9viVL4g/s400/DDodgers+2.jpg" width="400" /></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And a great, inexpensive way to block drafts is with these Draft Dodgers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">These are made using quality remnant designer fabrics, and filled with clean builders' sand. They're such heavyweights they actually double-up as doorstoppers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">2 sizes available - 80cm for regular doors ($30each or $50 for 2) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">and 90cm for wider doors ($35each or $65 for 2).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">(I'm also happy to custom make to your own particular requirements - please c</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">ontact me for a quote).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A wide range of choices is available in the Jamberoo showroom now - not in the online shop (but I'll happily ship unfilled if you're happy to fill them yourself).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">PS: AND these make the ULTIMATE house-warming gift!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">and apologies for such a long time between posts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As I've mentioned before, I'm afraid I've succumbed to the lure of Social Media and have been actively posting all my latest news there - specifically INSTAGRAM and FACEBOOK (links over there on right of this page).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For those of you who prefer to read this blog, then the</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> latest news is the introduction of a new workshop format - probably the most requested thing in the history of Rapt - <b>UPHOLSTERY CLUB</b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is an ongoing workshop where students bring their own project, and work individually in a small group (max 4) on Saturday afternoons.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The project must first be approved as suitable - ideally something small and achievable in a few hours (such as a dining chair seat , or footstool for instance) rather than a full-blown 4 seater lounge (but hey, anything's possible once you've got the basics under your belt! ).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Some of the advantages in being an Upholstery Clubber include:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">* access to a fully-professional workshop, including use of a range of tools and machinery out of the cost of most home workshops</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">* the hourly rate includes all the basic supplies, such as staples, foundation materials, glue, threads, etc. More expensive supplies such as fabric, foam, Dacron are available to purchase at trade prices</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">* your project can either be something to start and finish in one workshop session, or for you bring back and forth, while continuing to work on it at home. You could for instance bring 1 dining chair along, with the aim of finishing the set at home in your own workshop at your own pace</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">* seeing what other students are learning will increase your own general upholstery knowledge.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Well, I'm delighted to say that after years of saying "no" finally the answer to this has become "yes".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The first upholstery workshop has been listed in the <a href="http://raptupholstery.bigcartel.com/category/workshops" target="_blank">web-shop</a> - it's called UPHOLSTERY 1.O1 and is an introduction to the basics of upholstery. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The DYE HAPPY workshop here in Jamberoo is gettting closer, and is filling fast - so if you're thinking of joining us, you'd better get your skates on.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>UPDATE: it's now sold out - but - there's a waiting list (in case of cancellations) so if you're keen, please let me know to go onto the list.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Deborah Clarke is coming all the way from Central Australia to teach her method of natural dyeing on silk using native vegetation.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I've just received a package of gorgeous 'samples' from Deborah, to serve as examples and inspiration for the workshop students.

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">In this exciting two-day workshop we will explore the basic
techniques of Natural Dyeing*. Each
participant will create at least one beautiful pure silk scarf, coloured and
patterned in collaboration with nature. In the process we will discover which
plants and vegetables produce the best colour and how to fix them.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> We will employ a
variety of Shibori* techniques to create
extraordinary patterns and texture. The unique piece you create will reflect
the colours and textures of our landscape in your own way. You will be
delighted and proud to wear it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The LookDrawPrint workshop here in Jamberoo a few weeks ago was a great success. Julie Paterson, of CLOTH fabric is a highly energetic, motivating teacher, and all 10 students produced fabulous work, despite (some of them) being extremely doubtful they could do this!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I'll be booking Julie up for another workshop here next year (2018) so if you're keen to take part please let me know and I'll put your name on the waiting list.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My partner Geoff, two friends and I have just completed an amazing journey traversing the length of the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco. Our trek was book-ended by </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">the two highest peaks in North Africa, Mt M'Gouna (4068 m) and (Mt Toubkal at 4200m ) joined by roughly 250klm of rough tracks over 3 weeks hard walking. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: center;">Geoff </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: center;">organised the trek online through a local company based in the small village of Imil located beneath Mt.Toubkal. Mohamed was the man who runs the company and he wasn't big on communication. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: center;">We arrived in Marrakech a day before the start still unsure if it was all going to come together. Mohammed was frustratingly bad at responding to any form of contact so it was with great relief when he actually turned up at the appointed hour with our guide, Omar who turned out to be an even poorer communicator. He did, however, know the route well, which was a relief.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After a bit of phaffing around in Marrakech organising last minute supplies, off we headed to the start of the walk 6 hours drive away where we met our crew, the four muleteers, all named Mohamed. Each Mohamed had a mule which carried all our equipment and supplies for the duration of the journey. To distinguish each we nick-named them, (with their good-humoured agreement), Mohamed A,B,C and D. The mules were much easier.....Daisy-doo-dar, Silver Ghost, E.J Hoover and Taffy were the names we each nominated for our favourite.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Watching the set-up of the first day's camp was interesting. Those of you who know Geoff and me personally know we've both done a bit of trekking over the years so we have certain expectations as to how things should be done. For example, having staff who know how to erect tents, having a toilet tent, having a dining tent equipped with table and chairs, having tents that are water and wind proof were some of our expectations that, sadly, were not met. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />On the positive side the food was fabulous with Mohamed-A cooking up a storm 3 times a day, although we did get a bit tired of tagines by the end of the walk! Unintentionally, the start of the trek coincided with the start of Ramadan which had a bit of an impact on the walk. Ramadan lasts for a full month which meant our poor guys couldn't eat or drink between sunrise and sunset. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Some days we all walked for 10 hours, climbing 1,000 metres in 35 + heat - the guys cheerfully going without even a sip of water in that time while still catering to all our needs. By 7.30pm (the average time of sunset) they were well and truly ready for their first (non-alcoholic) drink and food.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />As for the walking, well it was pretty tough at times as you can see from the state of Geoff's boots which started to fall apart after only day 5. Copious amounts of Superglue applied each evening, along with our full supply of sports tape, kept the boots together just long enough to make the finishing line.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our days generally started at about 4.30am when we would get up, pack up, have breakfast and be on the track by 6.00am to take advantage of the cool morning conditions . Lunch was usually around 11.00am or so and into the campsite by 2.00pm to 3.00pm. The walking after midday usually was pretty uncomfortable because of the heat, which is not surprising given we were walking close to the northern edge of the Sahara.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />The landscapes were sensational, a bit like Ladakh on steroids. You wouldn't call what we were walking through 'wilderness' (I don't think there is any left in the Atlas Mountains, because everywhere in summer has some form of human activity going on), but despite that the countryside was extremely wild, and a long-long way from the conveniences we're used to in the west. The route essentially followed footpaths that connected one village to the next and we were probably never far from the gaze of a shepherd or muleteer carrying their harvest back to the village or Berber families simply going about their domestic life, herding goats and sheep from the low valleys up into the mountains to take advantage of the lush summer meadows. We were really struck by the lack of mechanical equipment for farming and how the Berbers still wear traditional clothing and the villages have virtually no advertising or marketing signs anywhere. It really was like stepping back in time, apart from the ubiquitous satellite dishes on many homes.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Another highlight were the lush valleys in which many of the villages are situated. Many an afternoon was spent reading a book under the shade of a three hundred year old walnut tree and listening to the dirge-like calls to prayer from the village mosque (although admittedly this did get a bit tiresome at 3.00am each morning!)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In all a fabulous journey with great comraderie and many wonderful experiences (like sharing our dining tent with three shepherdesses - grandmother, mother and daughter, during the searing heat of one afternoon), great food, challenging scree-sloped mountain-side trails, thunderous afternoon storms and brilliant sunrises and sets. Not much more you can ask for.... except perhaps.... some great shopping to finish off the trip. Did I mention yet what beautiful things there are to buy? Berber carpets, filigree-metalwork lamps, embroidered leather shoes and bags are just few of the things I managed to squeeze into the bags for the homeward journey.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Why, you ask, would an upholstery and furnishings business be selling brollies?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Well - these are not just any old brollies - they're hand-crafted works of art, showcasing designs from the recent Osborne & Little ENCHANTED GARDEN furnishing fabrics collection.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The 2 designs available in the Rapt! showroom and online store are AVIARY (left) featuring a collection of lovely small birds (budgies, finches, wrens, sunbirds) on a trellis background; </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Not only do these look good - they're beautifully crafted. The folding mechanism runs like a Rolls Royce; they're fully lined; and all the fittings are impeccably finished.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">These are real keepers. The question is: WHO gets to keep them?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I can't begin to describe how thrilled I am to be hosting Julie Paterson (the woman behind <a href="http://www.clothfabric.com/" target="_blank">CLOTH fabric</a>) to Jamberoo in July, to run one of her LOOK-DRAW-PRINT workshops.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><a href="http://juliepaterson.com.au/" target="_blank">Julie's</a> been running these workshops around the country for a while now, and anyone who's been following her on social media (<i>she's a keen Instagrammer, like me</i>) knows the amazing results her students unfailingly produce out of these 1 day workshops.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Here's what Julie says of these workshops:</span><br />
<i>"I believe everyone is born creative, but so many people don't realise this. That's why I've been running what I call 'imperfect workshops' now for a wee while, and I love doing them. LookDrawPrint is a hands-on experience for the creatively curious, where I teach how to embrace chance and imperfection and focus on process. <br />Creativity becomes a skill, but it starts as an attitude.

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Because our morning lampshade making workshop is nearly full*, we're delighted to be adding a second workshop in the afternoon.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Price of $155 per person includes</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> everything you need to make and take home your own professional-standard rolled-edge lampshade (except fabric**), and a delicious country-style afternoon tea.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">**Fabric - you can either bring your own (we'll provide a detailed info sheet when you register, outlining suitable fabric requirements) OR you can purchase from a variety of beautiful designer remnants in the Rapt Upholstery showroom in Jamberoo either beforehand or on the day. (You can also pre-order by visiting the showroom well ahead of time and choosing from a huge selection of sample fabrics from fabric houses throughout Australia, and around the world).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">For more info please feel free to contact me through the Contact page, or better still head to our online shop where full details, and tickets, are available.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">*We've also just added a 'lunchless' option to our morning workshop. The price including lunch for the AM workshop is $180/per person; without lunch $155.00.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Meet the latest Rapt Wingchair - the 'Pilsbury Mismatched' - named for the glorious feature fabric 'Pilsbury', a pure linen by Warwick.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">All materials are brand new - including the frame, which is made by a Sydney master-craftsman.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This chair is seriously comfortable, largely due to the unusual inner-sprung seat cushion (superior comfort to feathers, or foam).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The fabrics are Scotchguarded;</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">the chair comes with the matching lumbar scatter cushion;</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">the legs are hand-painted in semi-gloss enamel (and a patchup pot is even available too!);</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and - there's even a matching ottoman available.</span><br />
