the pleats you just made and staple it down. Cut a slit for the backrest and staple the fabric down on the outside of the armrest. 21 Fold the excess fabric over against the backrest to take on the shape of the lines where the armrest ends. Draw a line 2cm from this line. Cut 2cm deep slits all along the fabric following the curve of the backrest. Spray glue on the inside of the slits, wait two minutes and glue down. While you wait, place the fabric on the other armrest.
Cover the inside of the backrest with foam 22 Turn the chair around so that the back faces you. Cut the foam in a block according to the height and width measurements of the backrest. Push in the bottom end of the foam where the backrest and base meet to hold it in position and to centre the foam. Spray the back, as well as the old foam on the backrest, with glue and stick the foam down. Cut off the excess foam with a knife. Push the excess foam against the base through to the back. Draw a
line with a pen from the inner corner between the base and backrest up to the beginning of the armrest and cut the foam on this line. Add approximately 2cm to the line and cut on the new line. 23 Fold the top edges of the foam in by spraying with glue, waiting two minutes and then pinching between thumb and index finger to close.
Make the diamond shaped pattern (tufting) on the backrest We kept the traditional diamond pattern, but changed the button pattern slightly for a more modern look. Refer to the diagrams alongside.
24 Measure the height and width of the backrest. Measure the width over the widest part – for example, height = 80cm and width = 90cm. Decide where to place the buttons at the top and sides – for example, 10cm from the top edge, 20cm from each side edge and 20cm from the bottom edge. If you subtract the border from the total height and width, it gives you a 50cm
