It has been another "COUCH" weekend. I haven't even gotten out of my pajamas today. I'm glad no one has come to visit... LOL I worked all evening last night and got up this morning and started in again.
I am really getting good at using a tack hammer and a tack puller.. Put the fabric on and take it off... I SAID IT IS LIKE HAVING A 500 PIECE PUZZLE WITH OUT THE PICTURE TO GO BY. So It is just one step at a time and if it doesn't look right I change it. But things are finally starting to look like something. I may even have it finished by next weekend it all goes well.
I could not do this as a profession, no wonder they charge so much. I am worn out!!
The arms are what I was having so much trouble with but I think I have things worked out with them... Thank God...
The back side of the arms below the roll are the checked fabric...
I just couldn't resist putting a button on the arms....
I always say "It's all about the DETAIL"
My husband just laughed at me...
I can't wait until I can put the back, back on... Then I know it is finished. But for now it just sits there.
Have a Great Week,
Lynn
PS This is still a Flower Blog... So here's the flowers and my baby bird from last spring!!!

You're doing a great job. That checked fabric gives it more interest. Love the button.
Thanks Balisha, I'm getting used to it.... I just have to convince my husband.
At first I thought you had spent the weekend being a couch potato:) You've done a great job on this couch! I can't wait to see it when it's all finished. I have a chair I'd like to re-upholster myself, but the only thing I have tackled so far have been my dining room chairs which were relatively easy--though time-consuming. I'll have to check back through some of your posts for some tips. Did you take a class first or use some other resources to teach yourself how to do this?
Thanks for your comment on my recent post--I think your kindergarteners would enjoy many of the poems in I Heard it from Alice Zucchini. My granddaughter in the photo is in kindergarten. I'm sorry I haven't visited in awhile--I'm going to add you to my blogs I follow list so I don't forget:)
I didn't take a class. I just decided to tackle my livingroom furniture last year and figured what ever came off first had to go back on last. I took each piece off and used it as a pattern, taking lots of notes and pictures. There are pictures of it somewhere on the blog. Thanks for visiting!!!
Oh my and you upholster furniture too- Ok you need to come visit! You are an encylopedia of information I can see already!!
