I finally started upholstering the cushions I lined about a million years ago. Here are the three bottom cushions for the rear bed....only 7 more cushions and a few armrests to go....
The fabric is 100% cotton. I washed and dried it on the hottest temperatures in order to shrink it before sewing. It shrunk a LOT, so I am really glad I took the time to do this. It also made the fabric look and feel more vintage, and nubby.
Sewing on the welting using the zipper foot to get up tight against the cording.
Snip to ease around the corners. I then go back and zig zag stitch all to secure against fraying.
It's not like i don't have "help".
My dog has been raised to believe the sewing machine running is a sleep aid.
He also thinks he is a cat. That is another issue.
First one is done! Zipper closure at rear. More photos of that later.
The three rear bottom "couch" bed cushions.
Now to get the rest completed....this tropical print it directional, and while it doesn't need to match up exactly to look okay...it is time consuming to cut out. A lesson learned. No more directional prints!
More to come....soon I hope!
