This baby blue fabric really freshens up this hardwood pair of well designed slipper chairs.
A fresh roll of cotton will really be a help in tailoring up this couple.
The old cotton lining was discarded and a thin coat added after the old fabric removed.
The idea is to set those bases like a tight drum.
But not too tight.
There sure is some tailoring involved getting these two to look-a-like.
I hand sewn the pleats for a nice neat look.
Most upholstery fabric frays.
I surged all the skirting to take care of that.
Here shows the skirts all sewn and turned and steamed on the cutting table.
Surged after the lining was put in all the skirts.
The lining really keeps the skirt crisp.
Mirrored pleats on the top of the inside back.
No waves in the fabric and as strait lines as possible.
The outside back lines with a thin coat of cotton.
And the completed pair ready for years of service.
Thanks for looking!
