Buyer questions
- A common question
Can you make tie-on cushions for vintage ladder-back dining chairs?
The workshop's answerYes. Send a photo of the chair and a simple diagram with the dimensions, including the left and right side edges, plus how many you need. Ties go at the back to hold the cushions on, and the covers are removable and washable. One set was four 4 in (10 cm) pads with sides of about 11 in and front and back widths of 13 and 14 in.

- A common question
Do you sell the ottoman on its own, in the same color as my sofa?
The workshop's answerYes. The ottoman is 39 x 39 in (100 x 100 cm), and the shop sends a custom purchase link in the matching color.

- A common question
How do you measure a quarter-circle corner floor cushion?
The workshop's answerBy the two straight sides that sit against the walls, for example 48 x 48 in. On that size the curved outer edge is about 75.4 in. For an unusual space, send a photo and draw the sizes on paper.
