For those who have been wondering (and those who have been asking) the chair has been done for a while. Actually, both the chairs are finished. I just needed to take the time and set the scene to get some nice photos of it. And if you have ever seen my apartment, you know (1) I have very few empty walls, (2) very few walls that are straight [since we're basically in an attic] (3) horrible lighting (4) and more clutter than you can imagine [that's what happens when you have 2 people living in a very small space that has more hobbies than you can count.] And I finally did that this past weekend. But those are not the photos I'm going to share today... I want to show the final stages of building it back up! And I don't want to drag this out anymore... so we'll just plow right through this!
So, if you remember, we had a chair covered in muslin. Now it's time to show how we added the final fabric. We started with the seat...
And with some sewing, tucking, tacking and stapling we have a covered seat (I also added a little kick pleat skirt, but that came later)...
And then we moved onto the chair back...
And added some lovely "sunflower" details to enhance the slight curve of the slipper back...
Then I cut the back panel and used multiple methods to attach it including staples, hand stitching and ply-grip...
And finally, the the cambric (dust cover) on the bottom of the chair...
And I know at this point you are dying to see the final product. Well, tough... you'll have to wait till tomorrow. OH... THE ANTICIPATION!
