I'm getting ready to do a similar style chair, so I pinned this just in case I need some help on the seat :) I don't think mine has the wrap around the back frame like yours…but I'll have to check.

I've made my own before, also, but wasn't sure how to apply the welting to the chair for the finished look achieved here! (Think I stapeled the last welting first, then applied the seat cushion.)<br />"Mr.Ed" & I will be upholstering a chair cushion next week. Perfect timing for this post, dear one!!!<br />Fondly,<br />PatPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07777939835671223780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1213512704251697206.post-39153288355244638692014-02-07T14:08:07.073-05:002014-02-07T14:08:07.073-05:00Hi Kristen; Love the chair!!!

Or the glaze with white paint like in some of your other tutorial. Not sure which one to use for my first attempt.

Even though it was not meant to have an upholstered back I think there is enough framework around the edges to hold it sturdily in place. Lovely fabrics!
