The summer holidays feel like they have stretched on for eons because I didn't enrol in Upholstery summer school early enough to get a spot this year. But, before I finished up the last term, I began stripping and upholstering the first of four vintage drop seats for a neighbour.
Old, dusty, brown covers = yuck.
The stripping process was fairly grim, the frame was crammed full of tacks (which are fine) and staples (which AREN'T!)
The frames were in pretty bad shape, so i had a lot of filling to do.
Strapping (aka webbing) the base.
All ready for the new school year and a bit of rubberised hair!
It has been fun learning how to upholster two different types of chairs at the same time. Expect an update soon!
