this is going to live on a super hot weekend around hither How To Replace the Canvas on a Director's Chair

Happy Fri everyone!

Whoa, this is going to live on a super hot weekend around here. Well, I'm non complaining, I'm going to live on abode together with in all probability it's non going to touching on my run much, but for all of you lot out there, remain cool!

I've been at the neighborhood flea marketplace position inward an on/off kinda agency this season. I missed the i held concluding weekend, too tired alongside all the trips to DC during the week, but I did attend the previous month, it wasn't
great, non many sales, non many finds. The exclusively matter that I brought abode were this duad or director's chairs.

In fact, these chairs belonged to my sister-in-law, she was also selling stuff at the flea. The chairs didn't sell together with she did't desire to select them abode alongside her, so, when she offered them I couldn't nation no. :)

As usual, the original employment alongside director's chairs is the canvas, they harm to fast. The wooden frames were sturdy, fifty-fifty the complete on the forest was good.

I had never payed attending at the structure of director's chairs. On this set, the arms are on hinges, together with subsequently you lot take away the dorsum slice of sail you lot tin select those arms depression to the side of the chair to uncover the guides where the topographic point sail is secure to.

There must live on dissimilar kinds of director's chairs, If you lot involve to alter the cloth pieces on your chair, the best agency to practise it is past times using the quondam stuff equally your guide. That's just what I did.

The materials you'll need:

Duck cloth (Aff) - ½ yard per chair - I used ¾ yard for ii chairs.
2 -¼" wooden circular dowels - 15" long.
Sewing machine
Measuring tape, thread together with sewing necessities.

Directions:

SEAT
Cut your stuff to size, adding 1" for both forepart together with dorsum seams, together with 2½" for side seams.
Double plication the forepart together with dorsum seams. Press.
Sew both, forepart together with dorsum seams inward place.

(I made ii sets, i white together with i blue, it would own got a lot longer for both sets to larn harm together with i time you're doing i is non much hard to brand ii or iv to a greater extent than at the same time. )

As I told you, I tried to follow, the best I could, to what was done to the original material. I couldn't own got the dowels out without removing the stitches. It looked similar they were sewn in.

So, each of the wooden dowels were placed within the fold, together with using a pipage human foot on the sewing machine, they were attached to both sides of the seat.

This is how they looked at the end.

For the dorsum piece, the around of import matter was to plication together with Fe those seams earlier heading to the sewing machine.

Besides a expert deep cleaning, I didn't practise a matter to the frames.

EEEK!I only got a novel duad of chairs! :D or four?

I dear the contrast of the white alongside the color of the wood.

And the bluish ones... Love, love, LOVE!

I know many of you lot had to skip this projection because it involves sewing. Well, I'm non that expert at sewing, but since they're all conduct lines it was easy.

Now, I intend the topographic point slice is doable without sewing. Doing the forepart together with dorsum seams alongside Stitch Witchery (Aff) together with maybe securing the dowels alongside staples? I mightiness endeavour that!
The dorsum slice mightiness involve about mitt sewing too the tape, for security reasons. ;)
