The Upholstery Forum

This is my project , None of this Is original had to go to pinterest just to see the way it might have been . The customer just wants it simple!
First thing i have to create a pattern. Whoever did it . created just two pieces of material on the back part and sewed them together. Should i try to go back to the original?
I Like original!

My vote would be original.

Getting the springs in not too bad. Still have a few to get back in.


Got think of a plan for this. My goodness sloppy sloppy.
But you know it could been someone do it your self think. I would hope so.
Reached out to owner to see how to proceed to rebuild on this. I think if they would have fixed the spring issue when the redid it. It might not be as bad as it is now. What ya think?

That's pretty beat up. Not sure if there's any saving that?????

Any chance of finding a decent foam out of a donor/ junkyard????

Worse case scenario........

Year One has a reproduction seat of cushions for that year group.

I've never used there foam so I can say anything about it other then they exist.

well i reached out to the owner, I told them i could build up and trim and put a bandaide on it. or find a new one.
they said bandaide it and go on. thats what i did . its not such and eye sore anymore , it is evened out where you cant tell its there . with the cover on it.

Ill be finishing it up this weekend I do ya photo shoot to show finished. They told me to keep it simple , lol

Curious to see what you did. I was thinking maybe a 1/4 inch dense foam over what you had.

I'm also interested to see how you saved it.

actually i trimmed down that big hunk filled in some holes added some foam to the side from underneath glued it then put big piece of white material that holds it all together ,
did not get a chance to finish . Had issues getting the embroidery machine up and running , had to go visit a friend on that. But i got that going so yay. sorry i didnt get finished to show.
But soon all i like is the hem and adding listing to get it hogged ring back down. I did put it back in the original to what i found on Pintrest !

I still haven’t got hogged ring down. Been busy at the post office.

Looks like you won that battle just fine.

So fixing to hogging down the seat. I put the rope in to gather my material in the right places. Get it tight hogring it. It might not be the right way. But hey works for me!

What vinyl material did you use?

The name brand. I don’t know. I used what I had in stock. I’m sure I got it from Albright’s.
