Ensimmäinen prototyyppi oli niin karmaiseva, että se lensi roskiin ilman kuvia. Seuraavassa yritelmät 2 (oikealla) ja 3:
Lately the windmills I've been storming have actually been armchairs. For some reason I thought making such would be pretty straightforward.... it wasn't, for me at least. I've spent days planning, scetching and crafting, but I seem unable to produce neat, good-looking armchairs.
The first prototype was so hideous, it went in the trash unphotographed. Here are versions 2 (on the right) and three:
Mä en kertakaikkiaan saa aikaan tuoleja, joissa ei olis miljoona irvistelevää saumaa! Nämä tein kahdella eri tekniikalla, mut sama saumaongelma on molemmissa. Haluaako joku kertoa, miten saatte tuoleihin siistit ja huomaamattomat saumat? Kun liimaan kankaan runkoon ja käännän sen reunojen yli ja takapuolelle piiloon, niistä tule aina paksuja klönttejä (vaikka kangas olisi miten ohkasta) TAI jos koitan leikata ylimääräset pois, irvistelee se kankaan reuna näkyvissä. Järki on mennä tätä kummastellessa!
I am apparently incapable of making upholstered furniture that doesn't have a gazillion ugly seams showing! I made these two chairs with different techniques, but the same problem with the seams persists. Does someone want to tell my how on earth you manage to make chairs and couches with neat and discreet seams? When I glue the fabric to the frame and then fold it over the edges, the folded bits of fabric on the flip side end up bunched (even if the fabric isn't thick at all) AND if I try to cut off the exess fabsic, the edges of saud fabric end up showing here and there on the finished chair. I'm going nuts with this!
The "fabric" used for these happily withstood glue well, but how do you fasten regular fabric to chair frames? When I try (using Tacky Glue) the glue seeps into and through the fabric and looks dreadful and splotchy when it dries??

I do not see it so bad... To work with leather or similar has to be more difficult that with fabric.. Have you tried to glue with extra strong tacky glue? or if the google translator really says what you wrote.. I would do it as the traditional way in scake 1/1 with stapples...
I like it!
Hei, kärsivällisyys on tarpeellinen ominaisuus - en osaa muuta neuvoa. Moiseen saavutukseen kuin mitä olet saanut aikaan en pystyisi!
Thanks Mafalda - I'll have to keep trying different tacks until I'm satisfied :)
Kiitti Eija - kärsivällisyyttä mä tässä yritän kasvatella :D
Están fantásticos, me encanta como te han quedado.
Un abrazo.
Yolanda
I like your armchairs. And the wicth relly like it.
Greetings, Faby
Thank you Yolanda and Faby :) Yes, luckily Griselda liked the chairs even if I wasn't very happy with them :D They have grown on me a bit now though, especially the third model :)
The chairs are great! I really like the fabric! I made a similar one from a pattern in a dollhousebook =) They got better after a while, I needed a bit of practice first =) I never got to the feet, yours looks good, might try something similar =)

Good advice Hannah, I've been practicing a lot and they are getting better :)
