These Two Extra large Fully upholstered chairs with an extra large ottoman are here in New Hampshire to be upholstered in an up to date fabric.
The challenges to this work set is the 52 inch wide fabric with a large stretch in the fabric from side to side. I mentioned to the owners to get 24 yards with traditional 54 to 56 inch wide fabric to complete the job. Too much fabric or not enough fabric sure isn't good. I ended up with just under a 1 yard. Shown with a 36 inch ruler.
Lots of numbers to plot this job & with the large repeat it kept me on my toes to make this sharp looking fabric, work with style.
The arms on the long chair presented one of many challenges.
Arm tops Always need some shoring up so to keep the arms crisp.
Patiently laying layers of cotton on the top only so not to lump up the finished arms or widen them.
Below is fresh cotton under a few repaired springs to crisp up the deck.
The ottoman deck was a challenge with the severe stretch of the fabric.
There's much to be done after the arms and deck are set.
1,200 inches of ribbon, cut & sewn.
The skirts backed and lined and steamed.
24 skirt pieces.
Top outside back of the two different designed chairs.
The fabric playing as it falls from the outside arms through the skirt.
A "happy accident".
Straight up through.
A back cushion as it sets on the back.
Side view of the front of the ottoman.
A generous amount of synthetic down was added to the back cushions.
And the seat cushion wraps reset also.
Ready to serve.
Thanks for looking!
