Biting the Bullet

My Mother offered to let the grand babies sleep over this past weekend, which gave me the perfect opportunity to try out this bad boy. 



Yes, I finally bit the bullet and ordered one. Since I am just learning to upholster, I decided this would be a perfect gun for me. The best thing is..it was super affordable and it works great!

I mentioned a while back that I would reupholster the red chair within the month.
 Well, at least I got started within the month.


The chair's burlap needed to replaced on the deck. 


Here's a close up of it freshly stapled in place. 


And here is the front. 
 (Please excuse the mess, I am currently overtaking my living room with my projects.)


I replaced the old cotton batting. 
When I was stripping the chair, I accidentally tore the front batting.
 I hope that won't be a problem when I recover it. 

Hopefully I can manage to get a little more done this week. I'll keep you posted as I go.
