doesn't *anybody* esle want to do this? Come on, it'll be... a learning experience — 1 year ago
So there’s this old “barrel chair” in the basement. It belongs to the people who own the house we’re renting. It is torn apart as the fabric is rotten and the stuffing is hanging out. But the “bones” are still good and it would make a nice reading chair. I was going to take a class at the fabric store to learn to do it but the class got cancelled since only one person besides me signed up. I didn’t really want to drag the thing back and forth to the store anyway, because I wasn’t sure how I’d get it in the car. So I’m on my own and have not the slightest clue what to do. I do not adept learn well from books but that is what I’m going to have to rely on, and any advice I can get from people on here… if I can find anyone who’s done this. Anyways, I haven’t even gotten around to buying the materials yet. It is not that pressing but if I don’t do it soon, it won’t happen. Plus, the house is for sale and once it sells, we will have three months to find a new place to live and it will surely be much smaller than this (I’ve been spoiled by this house and all the extra space) and I am certain I will not be able/allowed to bring along a decrepit old chair with it’s stuffing hangning out. A spiffy new face-lifted chair – my special reading chair – which I’ve put hours of blood, sweat and tears into, would have to come with us.
