Re: Upholstery project
Susan- I wasn't sure about how they kept the indent in the back of the chair. When you take the cushioned back off, the fabric is stapled along the sides. The fabric is seamed at the middle of the indent, but how are they keeping the middle of it from bowing out? I plan on putting the fabric on top of the old fabric, so I didn't really want to take it off to find out how. Do they glue it in the middle? I don't see any additional stitching to indicate they sewed it to the padding.
The fabrics are for drapery and a table runner. The plaid fabric is silk, which will be the main fabric for the drapes. I was going to put a wide gold border on the bottom of the drapes using the gold silk. The table runner will be out of the burgundy, which is a soft textured almost micro-suede feeling fabric with a nice sheen to it. I was going to border that with the plaid silk. The fabric for the chairs is just like the burgundy fabric, only in gold. The catalog page photo is of the rug I would like under the table.
My husband thinks I'm insane, of course! Men just don't understand. The color will work ok with our current kitchen set-up (which is where the chairs reside currently), so I need to do this while I can still get the fabric. Any ideas are appreciated. Will let you know how I'm doing.....
