They Look A Lot Alike.

There's lots of numbers needed to complete this extra large set of sofas.

The owner chose a heavy duty, heavy weight denim fabric.

Lots of skirts to work up and line. With a proud 10 inch length.

Strait clean pipings to accent the design.

When all five back cushions were created they added a mix of poly and natural feathers. Overtime they not up together. I hand pulled all of them apart and added feathers from my in stock. Now the back cushions will set nice and proud.

Behind the nosing the decking is hand sewn in.

Fresh thin coats of cotton helps the peace Tailor up looking sharp.

All the clip retainers replaced on the frames and the cushions.

 Basic 5 inch 2635 Quality foam is deserved with this well built custom set.

 With a nice coat of poly wrap glued on.

 A set of deep fitted arm covers to replace the old ones.

These pieces have a great setting height and are good to go for another generation.

Large Skirted Slipper Chairs

This pair of extra large skirted slipper chairs after having all the old staples removed is ready for some frame tightening.

 Where the back rest meets the seat there has become quite a bit of play and now is the time to block up the frames.

 Double sized pre-drilled holes with a 1 1/2 inch wood screws and glue we'll set these old-timers up for long time.

 One of the legs needed typing also.

Apparently created in the year 1979.

 These three sided deep bases are always a challenge.

The owners chose a sunbrella fabric.

                                      

 After patterning and machine sewing the 4 pieces they are handsewn into the deck on three sides.

Of course the seat cushion clips were replaced in the frame in the rings also on the seat cushions.

The outside backs trimmed with piping an back with a thin coat of cotton.

 The extra large 10 1/2 inch skirts needed to be handsewn around the base.

They are backed and lined with a skirt stiffener.

All of them hung a tight three-quarter inches off of the floor.

After inspection of the stuffings for the seat and back cushions, they are packed and dressed.

 Tailored up as clean as smooth as I am capable of.

 Ready to serve.

Bold Pattern New Hampshire Upholstery

Here is another great example of furniture built to last. The frame is just as tight as it was when it was built probably 60 years ago. After removing all the old tax and stripping it down this piece is ready to get Tailored back up.

The owner of this chair found 8 yards of this fabric with a 21 inch vertical repeat.

It's got a nice heavy weight to it. It is a fabric that will look new and fresh for years to come.

Fresh coat of paint for the legs.

 After a minor spring repair and inspection, new coat of traditional burlap with a new 2 inch nosing hand sewn into the deck front.

 I have many times seeing horsehair last 200 years or more.

A fresh coat of cotton over the top. And hand sewn the cut and tailored decking piece, to the base.

 Spring front bases are always a challenge.

Re-set the horse hair by handsewing.

And the front of the base all finished off.

A fresh coat of cotton on the inside arms and inside backs really help everything tailor up sharp.

 Here shows the pattern height is the same as it walks around the inside just above the seat cushion.

And the outside back is backed and lined with a thin coat of cotton.

 Mirror set arm front templates.

 Deep seated arm covers sure does that extend the life of the fabric.

 Below shows the matching fabric for the arm covers to the front arm templates.

 Two extra large buttons tailor cut and set.

This family heirloom is ready to go for another long run.

Ready to go Home.
