You may remember that I ranted and raved my way through the first two here. They were the bit you sit on, now I moved on to the back rest. I thought they were going to be a nightmare due to the curved top.
Nope. Not a nightmare. I still hated every second of it though!
Doesn't look too bad if you don't look closely though!
I've handed them over to mum, now I just have to do the other 4. The other 2 chairs only come out when there's a lot of guests, so they're not as urgent. Thankfully, I can't face them right now!

Think of it this way they are good for getting your aggression out. They will be lovely when you get them all done, x
It looks great! I've stumbled through reupholstering several sets of furniture now by carefully taking apart the old and using those pieces for the new patterns. No one has yet turned over the cushions to check out the sewing! My stuff is never perfect, but I've also found mistakes on the originals, too.
I ALWAYS hate the process but love the finished product. That's the annoying part for non-professionals. We never do it enough for it to get easy!
Just think what a sense of accomplishment you'll feel once they're all finished. I had that experience this weekend on a project I was working on. I used the seam ripper on the first one at least a half dozen times and thought the second one should go together easier since I'd already made one. Ha! The seam ripper still came out for at least three seams. But oh does it feel good to have them off my list.
There's nothing worse than working on a project that's more of a chore than anything else!
haha.... well done for persevering... I'm sure your mum is very appreciative!!

They're not "real" puckers and I was even wearing my reading specs to look at them! You are probably the only one to notice and after the cushions have been used a bit and the covers washed a couple of times they'll have the lived in look anyway. I've seen people pay $20 or more each for covers that aren't half as well constructed as yours and certainly not tailor made! Give yourself a pat on the back and go sew/craft something else you do like for a while :).
The things we do for love!
