Armchair Part 7

After getting the liner on it was time for some stuffing. I got the seat and back done. Still need to cover the arms. Thin I think I will put on one last layer of batting then move to the final cover.

Armchair Part 6

Sunday after a super busy weekend I got two hours to do some work. I pulled off the broken straps and red trapped the chair with a different pattern. I of course failed to get a picture of this. Also when I went to get veg for supper I went by the fabric store to get my liner I skipped on the more expensive and less functional burlap and went with a simple cotton fabric.

This is what happens when people get in your shop while you are away. The straps I had just put on will now have to come off. The lesson here is that half done chairs are not for sitting.

Last Sunday was a really nice day for a February. So I took the chair outside to strip the strapping and start the upholstery process. I spent some time separating good and bad tacks do that I could reuse them.

Saturday afternoon gave me a chance to do a little more work on the armchair. This involved more tack pulling. I did however get the burlap partially removed. This week has been super busy so I have not had time to post much. The regular job is out of control right now.  Plus, I work there this weekend so there wont be too many post for a while. I will be hustlin but it will be academic hustlin not antique hustlin.

I finally got the arms exposed and started work on the burlap underneath. Seems that someone made it from old sacks. 

Getting the burlap off. Exposing the strapping

Here is the chair with just the burlap attached. 

Another child's rocker

This rocker was at the flea market this weekend.

Small Wardrobe

This wardrobe is perhaps five feet high. I like the applied decorations. As many of you know I love dark wood. Too bad I don't have room for it in house.
