So here we go again: Linda in action and my armchair to the right. Working with the springs, but I have to remove the old yarn first. On my first course I upholstered an identical armchair. I needed 120 hours to finish it. Now my goal is to upholster this one in 60 hours. To […]

Summer course – 2013
This gallery contains 1 photo.
Tomorrow I’m going to attend a summer course – again – in upholstery. Last year was great fun, so I’m really looking forward to this course. The winged armchair in the middle is my main object and the two chairs to the right and behind are “while waiting for advice-objects”. The armchair to the left […]

Upholstery course II – third time
Today I’ve been working on my two chairs at my course, and at the moment they are resting in my car since it’s pouring outside. I’m going to do some works at home until next time. At the course today I got so inspired by one of the course participants – Linda – when she told me about making furnitures of concrete. I googled and found this nice blog
Here is the link to the furnitures…
This is what I did today:
-
- Anettes fåtölj har en liten annorlunda stoppning- det ser ut som en extra ficka för att skydda fjädrarna.
-
- Fastredningsstygn på ryggstödet
-
- En massa nålar går åt – minst 1/cm.
-
- Grundväven sätts fast på ryggstödet
-
- Anettes fåtölj ser ut så här just nu
-
- …och lite från ovan
-
- Anettes fåtölj har spiralfjädrar som behöver knytas om…
-
- Kroll läggs på
-
- Kroll och gråvadd under domestiken.
-
- Nubb istället för sättas fast med häftpistolen så att inte domestiken går sönder.
-
- Många, många nålar så att det inte blir ojämnt
-
- Grundväv sätts fast på karmstolen

Searching for fabrics…
This is the way my Emmas looked when I got them…
I’m searching for fabrics with different patterns and in bluish/petrol colors. Yesterday I managed to find two fabrics that I’ll use on my Emma chair (armchair).
This is my inspiration (those of you who follow this blog might recognise it):

Upholstery Course II – First time
Finally the course in upholstery has started again. It was good to see Linda, Victoria, Sofia (our teacher) again, and Malin whom I haven’t met before.
To this first time I brought two armchairs – one for my oldest daughter (the black one) and one for my younger one (the white). It’s good to have two chairs to work on when you are on a course and need some help – you can always work on the other one while waiting for help.
