A Beautiful New French Covering for the Chair

by Victoria

AFTER- This is the after photo of my upholstery project, perhaps myA most ambitious project in upholstery yet.

After

View of the back. I could not find fabric I liked so I shopped Ebay, my go to shopping location. I found this French fabric at a very affordable price. I also found the cording and the gimp.

Back view

I bought the chair in a resale store, it had been recently reupholstered, not to my liking. I liked the rustic, aged wood so cleaned it and left it alone. I removed all of the fabric and saw how it was done so I followed the process in reverse.

Pretty in pink, just not my taste

Straight lines, I got lucky. I learned that you glue the cording on instead of stapeling, YAY!!

Great fabric, great re-do. Is the stripe what you found on eBay? I'll have to check it out; I love the way it looks on your chair, am wondering how it would look as a bedskirt.

  @Nancy Gramm Yes I bought the fabric on ebay. It's fairly heavy. Why not just try drop cloth for a bed skirt and paint stripes on it?
