The Seat

9. Drape the seat fabric over the seat. Pull the back through the frame and staple to the lower wood bar (as explained in step 7.)

10. Going around to the front of the chair, pull the seat fabric taut and staple underneath the chair on the lip (SEE FIGURE H).

11. Fold the fabric under neatly to correctly frame the legs. (SEE FIGURE I)

12. Fold the fabric on the sides into a clean pleat and staple onto the wood frame. (SEE FIGURE J). Trim extra fabric 1/4 inch of the staples.

13. Pull the sides through the wooden frame and staple, as always pulling very taut. (SEE FIGURES K & L) Be sure to trim off excess.

The Arms

15. Drape fabric over the arm, folding 1/3 of if forward where the arm meets the back of the chair. Staple the fabric on the outside of the arm to the wooden frame. (SEE FIGURE M)

16. On the other side of the arm (the inside of the arm), tuck the fabric through the frame and out through to the outside. Pulling taut, staple to the frame. (SEE FIGURE N)

17. On the top of the arm where you folded over the fabric, find the center. With sharp scissors, cut a slit all the way to the end of the fold. (SEE FIGURE O) As you unfold the fabric, you'll see how this slit helps the fabric wrap around the arm. Pull both ends taut and staple to the fame.

18. At the front of the arm, take the excess fabric and fold to the outside of the chair in a neat set of pleats. (SEE FIGURE P) Staple overage to frame.

19. Repeat steps for the other arm.
