Amy's Sofa'bed with Ottoman

Well here is a project that was a fun experience. Amy's Sofa'bed is a one-of-a-kind piece that I am happy to have had sit in my apartment for as long as it has.  The uniqueness of the shape is what makes it so wonderful. When I received the sofa, it was disheveled and truly loved too hard.  Many buttons were missing, the fabric (which felt like carpet) was faded in many areas and worn thin. And if I recall correctly, a little rabbit had eaten through the fabric underneath.  Here is the Before...

After many hours in Fabric Depot, Amy chose a wonderful brown tweed that really brings back the vintage feel.  I added more inner cotton batting for oomph and new and improved buttons. There is an aspect about the sofa and ottoman that I really enjoyed. It was the pinstripe pleats that checker the entire seat and back rest. I had never used this technique and I am glad with the results. Out with the dingy and dusty, in with the simple and stylish. Who would have thought that a sofa'bed could be so attractive! Here are the After images...
