Squared away #4

Time for this pair of custom built club chairs to be freshened up.
The fabrics came from zimmermans in Lynn Massachusetts.
I'd say the largest fabric store in the Northeast.

Sure is some quality stuffings to go along with these well built frames.
Myself being 60 years old, I consider assembling & patterning flawlessly with high pattern fabric these complex set-in backs, is a great test for Alzheimer's. 
 I passed the test. Ha ha


Of course the outsides are backed & lined with a thin coat of cotton.



Straight up and squared away tailoring on the inside backs.
All fabrics mirror cut and set.

The lines for the squares are very small and it's a challenge keeping them all straight throughout.

Time for new 2635 foam with a poly wrap.
Exact mirror set tailoring on the cushions also.

With the1/16 inch wide stripes, there's not much wiggle room.
Deep fitted arm covers should double the life of this upholstery job.
Mirror cut and surged.
I always like to brag a little how clean I keep my shop.
This pair is probably 30 years old and going out the shop door ready for another 30 year run!
