Garbage chair? Yep. I got this chair from the garbage. I know...why did someone throw it away? I have no idea but it's my gain. It's a solid brass 1950's Italian Chiavari chair and its worth a pretty penny. It fits perfect into the decor and its a great conversation piece.
The seat cushion had dissolved, so I removed the old fabric and cut out a new piece of foam for a cushion. Then I covered the seat in two layers of quilting batting.
Once the whole seat is covered,
I cut the fabric to line up with the pattern.
Before stapling the fabric on the from I wanted to give the back a finished side. I pulled some muslin out of my fabric drawer and stapled it to cover the raw edges of the batting.
Once trimmed, the back looks finished!
Next, I started to staple on the seat fabric. I rolled the edges while I stapled to give the back a finished edge.
I stapled the front and the back first, then did both sides before attempting the corners. It was just a matter of playing around with the folds to staple.
Once finished there are no raw edges along the back.
And Finished!
Pretty awesome for a garbage find!
