Upholstery Project

I have finished my first upholstery project.

The first one I have done all by  myself.

All. By. Myself.

It was harder than I expected considering I made a point of choosing a simple chair to do.

haaaa!

And now its done

and I can see everything wrong with it.

But

I look over at the chair next to it that I purchased from a furniture store

and it has flaws too.

So, there you go.

(I'm doing that chair next. Heaven help me and my family)

Remember when I took that upholstery class

and I was the messiest person in the class?

Yep.

Still a problem.

I was planning to do a whole tutorial thing with pictures

but then it turns out

I am busy thinking of what I'm doing and what to do next

and not thinking about taking a picture.

Here is my only "in process" photo

I'm pretty happy with how my double welt came out though...

and somehow I took a bunch of pictures of this part

because I couldn't find any tutorials about making double welt with only one seam.

And I learned that in my upholstery class.

Yay me!

And I didn't even realize until partway through that I wasn't using the right foot on my machine.

I'm such a dork.

Here's my finished chair
