Uphostery - New look new life - Part 2

My little project to bring new life to these little gems is progressing well.  After 3 weeks, the removal of countless staples, removal of old stuffing (aka as flock), new wadding, springs and the restuffing process the chairs are coming along very nicely.    I was amazed at how taught you need to get the the hessian and calico, all while trying to hammer in the tacks...truly and art......

Here are some progress pics.   This week will see the beginning of adding the fabric...very excited.

poor little chair is just about totally naked...suprising what is underneath all the fabric - not much at all

Getting back into shape - new wadding and springs...very well secured but it took some time t get them just right....
