Upholstery Class Week 7

I think its the 7th week.  I'm losing track.

All I know is, we don't have much time left!

I hope I finish...

Here is what my chair looked like when I started today:

The first thing I did was to staple the back on 

(it was only tacked previously)

Next, I had to measure, cut and sew the pieces to go onto the seat.

Sewing is also a little stressful because the machines are these heavy duty industrial machines.

But it went ok.

Then I had to hand-sew the fabric down, using a curved needle.

And it gives the nice edge.

Then I tacked it in place

and

CUT the fabric to fit around the arms and back.

Here is a view of the seat as I worked on it.

I had to staple very carefully around the legs and make a nice pleat.

The edges will be covered with welting.

The front is all done! 

(except for some trimming on the bottom, I now see)

I cut the fabric to start the arms but time ran out.

So that's as far as I got.

I think I'm going to love it!

I sat in it for quite awhile before class began

and it was nice and comfy.
