Restorative re-upholstery. Victorian Button Back Nursing Chair. Part 3

4.1K views on YouTube

In part 3, I will show you how to add the top cover on this small Victorian nursing chair. You will see how to add extra wadding to the seat and apply the barrier cloth.

I will also show you how to cut and fit fabric around the upright metal bars, on the back and arms so the cover sits correctly and how to attach the arm fabric and finish buttoning.

Photo’s in the middle of the video show you how to make the continuous piping to add definition to the back.
