Re: Upholstery project
Okay, 1st let me say your use of the fabrics, colors, patterns and textures leads me to believe that you shoulda, coulda been a designer.
2nd, the chair issue is hard to determine from afar. But here are some possiblities for you to try.
a.) apply the fabric to the chair back with good side to the chair. Pin together at the indent. Remove and sew across your pinned seam line. (You could also use a ruler to draw that line to be sure it is straight.) Turn right side out, and slide onto the chair back from left to right or right to left. Then staple up and down each side being sure to pull tightly at the seam .
b.) Follow instruction a.) but tack stitch witchery to the edges, across the seam. (wrong side) Then after the cover has been slid onto the chair, iron the indent seam to the chair. Then finish with staples as in a.
Is there a wood base across the indent part of the back?
If there is you could staple the indent...no sew method.
Attach fabric, good side hanging down, facing chair back. Staple across...nice smooth line.
Flip fabric up over top.
Wrap around chair back top to bottom.
Staple just under first staple line.
Leave just enough slack to pull down enough fabric from above the new staple line to cover the new staples. Might want to use the ruler again (yardstick, straight edge, whatever) for a straight line. Fabric glue or stitch witchery or use upholstery nail heads or a welt to cover any hint of the mechanics of this construction, if need be.
If I was there we could whip these out in no time, but I am not and am not sure enough of what I have recommended to be sure it will work.
So my advise is to try these possible methods by doing it with pins to see which is best for you...or it may inspire you to come up with something even better.
Happy upholstering.
We will have to do some projects in TV.
