Will give her a call Lex - the back does also have straight cushions. The side has a small round cushion/bolster. It is a wooden sofa with just cushions at the back. Not fancy, no piping at all ... I will give the lady a call that JLD recommended.... I should really have posted a photo.... Re: Seeking a seamstress / upholsterer in Melbourne 6Jun 10, 2012 9:20 pm Just to let you know that I was recommended to an upholsterer in Highett by a friend. So I had Ellie (a guy) from Ellies Upholstery around to quote. He offered very helpful, constructive advice. So bearing in mind I was being quoted $4000 to recover/replace foam on my couches, he quoted around $2400 using fabric he imports himself and a foam which has a 10 year warranty which he says will be good for 15 years plus. We went to his shop today, (354 Highett Road, Highett tel: 9532 0730). However we decided on a Warwick fabric instead which changed the price to $2640. So we will end up with virtually 2 new couches which will last another 25 + years, I am quite sure as we will now have reversible cushions and zip off covers which we can handwash. So I wont go the d.i.y route anymore! (having said that, he would cut and sell foam and fabric by themselves as well). In his shop, you can see furniture he has restored himself and which he has for sale. Actually just seen he has a website...www.elliesupholstery.com.au ... so hopefully this helps someone.
