I did however like the handles, so felt these were something I could work with.
I re-covered the backs in C19th French toile de jouy fabric, carefully gluing and trimming to fit.
I then finished the edges in an antique French suiting braid, which is ideal for flexing around curves.

I've also been making little needle cases, ready for gift ideas for Mothering Sunday next month.
I've used vintage linens and lace, with glass buttons.
