Burlap and springs

Right now I'm taking a community-ed upholstery class. I signed up so I could refinish some chairs that my mom and dad gave us. They're great chairs, but we wore out the seats and the foam started to come out.


However, the teacher thought it would be best for us to create some furniture from scratch, and then refinish our own stuff in the advanced class. So the first class we all designed an ottoman, the second class we built the frame, the third we learned how to sew, and the forth we stretched the burlap straps on the frame, and next week we'll attach the springs to the strap.

It's nice to have a post-summer project.
