 Chaise Longue Chat 2021 Refurbishment Part 5

This is the final Part of the Chaise Longue Refurbishment. I am moving on to the Skirt.

Scratch Marks

 

Oh no I discovered that all the moving has Scratched my new Paintwork.

Permanent Marker

 

I didn’t want to risk Repainting the Legs with my material flapping around so I did a quick touch up with a Permanent Marker.

Measure Skirt Rear

 

I measured the material I needed for the Rear and Side Skirt. I am not going along the Full Rear of the Chaise Longue as I don’t want it catching on things.

However I do want it to Cover the Plastic Part so I have to make sure that I have enough material to do so once Hemmed.

Glue Back and Side

 

Once Hemmed I Glued the material in place. I also added a few Stitches for Strength 

Glue Front

 

After the Side had dried I started on the Front Skirt. I turned the Chaise Longue on its Rear to make life easier for the Gluing and next step.

Nail Front

 

I wanted the Chaise to fit in with the Boxes I had already done. So I decided to Hammer Brass Tacks along the Top of the Skirt. This is not only aesthetic but will give added strength for when the Skirt is lifted to fetch items from underneath the Chaise.

Chaise Longue Complete

Voila! The Chaise Longue is now upright and Complete. I added a few more Tacks to help Secure the material around the Front Part Edge. I also placed Tacks where the original Buttons were.

The Skirt isn’t quite as Straight as I would like nor are the Tacks completely even. However the Tacks had to contend with unseen brackets. It may not be perfect but I am exceptionally pleased with my efforts.
