So close, but no cigar yet...

It is the end of the summer term for upholstery and the start of a six week break. The little lady was tantalizingly close to being finished and I couldn't bear to leave her behind.

So home she came.

If you look very closely you'll see flaps sticking out either side. That's the back panel of fabric that still needs to be attached.

To do list:

  • hammer home temporary tacks holding back fabric panel
  • add piping to tops of back feet
  • trim, tuck and ladder stitch back panel
  • piping around arms to hide tacks
  • bottom fabric to hide springs
  • sit on, drink wine, enjoy handiwork
Ps. The cupboard behind the chair that still needs painting a year after if was fitted? Move along now. There's nothing to see here!
