Odd Couple #2

This odd couple is just that, as they have different dimensions and arm styles.
Time to pair 'em up.
 The wood work cleaned up real nice with this.
The last upholsterer really got carried away with way to many staples.
 The last upholsterer that got a hold of this chair also put layers of synthetic throughout.
I stripped all that off and tailored up natural cotton like should be.

 What a nice tapestry.
I had the owner get 6 yards.  These extra large Martha Washington's came through the door.
I was wondering if I was gonna be short fabric.  I completed them both with under 5 yards.
Lots of mirror tailoring time in the arms.
 New cotton throughout.
I rolled over the fabric so no gimp or double piping needed.


 Sharp crisp lines, so as not to give them a over stuffed look.
 Clean cuts as I set the bases "tight as a drum".
Clean cuts.

 The outside backs, backed & lined.

Center top, centered on both.

Pairs of chairs are nice.
These are ready to serve.




Thanks for looking!
