This chair originally had arms, but I unscrewed them (and saved them) for a sleeker look. I replaced worn foam and put the chair back together with my choice of fabric (IKEA drapes), using the photos as a guide. I washed the fabric to pre-shrink it and then used the drapery liner as the foundation layer of fabric to hold all the stuffing together. I used the old fabric as the basis for the pattern I created for the cover. I wanted to be able to remove the cover to allow it to be machine washed if needed. Therefore, instead of stapling it to the chair I stapled the hook portion of hook-and-loop tape to the chair base and sewed the loop portion to the edge of my fabric.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-222 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.peyerl.ca\/quill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/chair-247x300.png\" alt=\"chair\" width=\"470\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peyerl.ca\/quill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/chair-247x300.png 247w, https:\/\/www.peyerl.ca\/quill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/chair-164x200.png 164w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div id=\"sharing-tools\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"comments\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few years ago, my parents were getting rid of a swivel chair they had received as a wedding gift in the 1960s.
