Weeks 4/5/6

Ok so I'm testing this blog using the Blogger app on my iPhone as I'm struggling to get on a computer in the evening and getting pics off my phone is laborious if I can do it all off the phone.
Week 4 I didn't go to class due to work commitments so with my gas mask on at home I took out all the stitching from the old material ready for week 5! I cut out all the new material with plenty of margin:

I then proceeded to stitch the top part of the chair cover but as my sewing skills on the machine were at bit rusty one side was perfect and the other wonky. Like my eye make-up you can never get it to match. Anyway after taking it apart and re-doing I finally got there:

It was last week that I finally finished the top and also did my cushion cover:

So this week I need to put in a zip for the cushion (purchased) and move to the sides which will be tricky to say the least! Final state and it doesn't look like much progress but I'm getting there!!!

Upholstery - part 3

No much progress but slowly it's looking a bit better than it was!!! I did my first bit of sewing today which was great fun! So I had to staple on some foam and fabric and you get a sneak peak of the material a bought on the weekend...

And I glued some more foam on but as it has to be stretched I'll have to do it in stages...

It's coming along nicely...
Stay tuned!
