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.

Thanks for looking here!
