The finished product. I honestly thought I took some pics along the way but I don't have any of it before.
I took this frame apart, reglued it, touched up the wood, had to rewebb all the arms and back, refluffed the feathers, wrapped the cushion with dacron, grew the pattern, and made the double welt.
AND it's a polished cotton!!!!!!
Whew.
It's easy for people to think "Oh, it's just a little bitty chair, it's not that much work. It's just a small chair. It's small. It's an easy job." (Customer did NOT say any of that but I have heard it in the past) But these ones are the hardest. There's absolutely zero room for error. If there's a flaw in the material there's no way to fix it. Fabric rips unexpectedly? No where to hide. Bad cut? Nowhere to conceal it and no way to pull it over a little. Everything has to be exact and you only get one shot because there's only 5 yards of fabric.
Gotta get it right the first time.
I would love a competition where people try to do this exact job.
So rewarding. Okay. On to the next one!!
(I had nothing to do with the curtains and I don't know who did)
