Squared Away #2

Here is one of 2 wing back chairs to have upholstery done in Southern New Hampshire.
After pulling plenty of 1/2 inch staples and freshening up the wood with Howards restore-a-finish, I'm ready to get cracking' on plotting & cutting this 3/8 inch squares fabric.

Fabric is expensive & cutting certain pieces at certain times sure is important for optimum use. 

All the old upholstery fabric is removed except the deck.

The old deck is reset & the new one hand sewn in with curved seams.

 Mirrored of course.

These two frames are in great shape as the manufacturer used quality stuffings meant to last many decades & the frames are as solid & steady as the day they were created.

The lines or shapes of the chair have a real nice balance also.

With these 3/8 inch square pattern any waving of the fabric lay will really jump out to the eye.

Cotton is an amazing sound suppressor keeps the gymnasium tone to a minimum.
This chair uses all natural cotton which I used also as i freshened up the stuffings here & there throughout the upholstery process.

Lots of angles to be considered as I tailor up the inside.
Mirroring both chairs.
Two different rights are wrong, but some times two wrongs make a right.

Removing the cording at all intersections keep everything smooth.

More cotton on the outside wings, outside arms & outside backs.

 The owner requested new foam this 2645 4 inch will really give a nice firm set for years to come.

A glued on coat of polywrap over the foam really helps the patterning & tailoring shine.

The arm fronts all reworked ready to be re-attached.

Nice  clean cut corners everywhere.

$ deep fitted & surged arm covers not shown also.
The arm covers will double the upholstery life as far as silage is concerned.

Good to go!

Thanks for looking!
