June 2013 meeting

We had a lovely afternoon creating chairs under the expert guidance of Jill and this is what we were aiming for, with all sorts of different fabrics of course.
















The seat is made with a cotton reel, which makes it a very stable chair! 
 








Those are bead-feet of course!


It's not that awful is it? To be our tutor for the afternoon, that is.... The instructions were very detailed and very well done!




The seat finished, time for the back and braid to finish it off...
A good overview of the different bits and pieces, before putting it together...

This fabric is so summery, unlike the weather at the moment...

The rubber band makes it look a bit creased,
 but that is definitely temporary!

Ready to finish
This one is almost there...





 Thank you Jill, it was a lovely afternoon project and all chairs were far enough along to finish at home!

-----------------------------------
This one was finished after the meeting, with a bit of a modification, because the seat was a bit too high to add feet...

Any more photos will be added as soon as I get them!
