Chaise Longue Chat 2021

 Chaise Longue Chat 2021

Sometimes you have to leave a project for a while in this case several years. I have posted the link for the last blog on this at the bottom.

Black Legs


 






Ill health has prevented me from doing really big jobs but I had a spot of energy and decided to crack on with a spot of maintenance whilst I was doing some Glossing.

I turned the Chaise Longue upside down and proceeded to Paint the Legs. Whilst doing this I made a discovery. I had some excess Material on the Base. This gave me an idea.

Cat Scratcher


 









My dear beloved Cat Electra had passed across the veil quite a few years ago. However evidence of her presence still remained. When she wasn’t using my leg she had decided that my Chaise Longue made a much better Cat Scratcher than the one she already had. Despite my best efforts the Legs and Front had become a Chat Chaise Longue.

Cut Material


 



I took a pair of Scissors and carefully Cut the Material. I didn’t want to Cut too close or I might end up having to repair the back to.

Partial Covering

 


I had the Material but unfortunately it wasn’t the correct Shape. Therefore I had to use a Patchwork system to try and cover as much as I could with as few Cuts as possible.

I decided the best way to Cover the damage was to Stick the Material on the area. I used Fabric Glue to place the Pieces on the Front. I sometimes had to manoeuvre these about around the Curves which is why I didn’t use Super Glue

Fully Covered


 










The above photograph shows the final result. It is not Purrfect by any means. It is however much better than it was before. It has also given me new confidence in trying to recover the entire Chaise Longue.
