Buttoned, Skirted, Club Chair Set

This couple has been together for some 80 years or so now.
I've seen many well made frames and quality stuffings in my time and these sure are that.
After removing lots of staples, two coats of upholstery fabric and two coats of cotton to thin out the lines and freshen up the stuffings with a fresh coat of cotton.


Table patterning all the advanced cuts sure helps for some crisp tailoring.

The outsides backed and lined.



A clean work area makes for efficient clean work results.
Slirts have much cutting, sewing and patterning.
I ordered 14 1/2 yards for these, and only required 12.

Added more 80/20 feather and down to the seat cushions.
You won't see any nowadays box store home furnishings stand the test of time like this couple.

Ready for another run of who knows how many decades.
It's been said that only rich people have upholstery work done.
Well when families are purchasing a set of furniture from box stores every 10 years or so you can see why.
