Armchair

This modern, well shaped chair with loose seat cushion needed a new cover. 

The polish work had also received a few knocks and those spots would need to be repaired.

With the seat cushion removed, the fabric to the sides and back was removed.

That gave access to the back and bottom fixings for the inner arms.

The inner fixings on the other two sides were removed and the fabric pulled away.

The fabric on the inner back was freed in a similar way.  

Finally, the seat fabric was removed to make the chair ready to have it’s new cover.

The old fabric was FR treated but that was not the case for the new fabric.

To comply with fire safety legislation, FR polyester wadding had to be added under each piece of fabric.

The seat was covered first, then the inner back.

Next the inner arms were covered.

The outside pieces were added, first to the back and  finally the sides.

Single piping was then glued around the frame edges – inside and outside. 

Particular care was taken at the acute angle at the top of the outer side pieces.

A zipped, piped, gusset was  prepared and a new cushion cover made.

This was dropped onto the chair to complete the project.

This Recovering project was one of our featured Transformations.

The inclusion of a loose seat cushion was part of this project but this and other Soft Furnishings also made by JBerryUpholstery.
