Once
the furniture was installed it was time for Avion Gal to do her
thing. Bradd and Hall suggested covering directly over the old
fabric, and that is just what we did. The addition of the extra
layer of fabric made these parts more luxurious. |
|
We
started by removing all of the parts we needed to cover. This
included an end of the sofa, dinette doglegs and top caps. We
also have a magazine rack with the same material. Laying each
piece on the fabric allowed a pattern for cutting. Remember to
match the pattern of the fabric when laying out. |

She
has a cool little pizza cutter gizmo she uses to cut fabric. The
main piece of fabric is wrapped around the dogleg and stapled.
Notice the other two pieces of fabric she has cut out. These are
used to fill the gaps caused by the bends and angles of the dogleg. |

|
Notice
that right at the curve she has inserted the little bow tie shaped
piece. She hot glues that in place and then the outer material
is folded around and stapled on the inside. |

Now
that the dogleg is finished I think it looks good. I am also glad
that it neither smells like a dogs leg or an athletes foot. More |
