Sheading it Off

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOO........

Okay well i'm going to blog anyways.

Today was the first of Part Two day of removing fabric. let me tell you this was time consuming.

First part: Find a chair. i found a chair on the side of the road near my neighborhood that was left after a garage sale. (FREEEEEE) I've had the chair now for 2 months and now that school is out for break i am ready to tackle it!

Part Two: Removing the fabric was a long process. it took me 5 hour the first and 1 hour the second day to remove all the fabric, nails, and stuffing. Then i removed all the nails and cob webs off  of the frame. When removing the fabric keep those pieces for a pattern to cutting out the new pieces. Also write on the back what they are.
       After removing the fabric i deiced that i wanted to replace the stuffing because it kept falling apart. SO besides the fabric which i am waiting for a certain sale to come. The rest of the stuff i will be ordering so i will have it when i do get the fabric.

  • Ply Grip: $.38 a foot!
  • Foam for cushion: $17.01 
  • Bating: TBA
  • Black Webbing for under the chair: TBA
  • Cord: TBA
  • Nail Head Trim: $16.98
diy upholstery supply is where I'm getting my supplies from. You can get the other stuff from there too but I work at a fabric store and I can get the other stuff cheaper. ALSO! On this web site they will custom cut the foam for you..... AMAZING! I was really scared about that part and when i saw it on the site I thought it would be expensive but $17? I think it's a good deal. The nail head trim is the last final touch which hopefully I do this correctly.
