Eighth Class

Welcome to #8.  I marked the chair seat and back centers and lined up the center of the fabric with the marks and tacked the edges.  Can you believe it?  It took just as long to tack and staple the fabric as it did the muslin.  Ha.  I keep justifying it because it's my first chair.  Toward the end of class, Paul said, "you need to get this stapled" and he took the staple gun and did one whole side.  It took him about 10 seconds.  You have to make sure the fabric is even from side to side.  In my case, it was somewhat easy because it has flowers on it, and though the flowers aren't symmetrical, they are close enough to allow easy matching side to side.  Below is one lonely photo of my progress.  Next week, I *should* finish stapling the fabric and the welting cord!  I can't wait.

Fabric almost completely stapled along the front, and tacked on the seat back.
