Wing Chair
Kim Chaplin
8am to 5pm with lunch break
Learn to make and upholster miniature furniture with this adorable 1/12th scale wing chair. You will learn the techniques for working with fabric, how to get sharp corners and match up patterns, as well as how to use the right kind of fabric and padding. The wing chair is 4 1/16” high, 2 1/2” wide and 2 1/8” deep. It has wood legs that you will stain/paint. Completion of the upholstery is likely while painting/staining may not be completed.
Quotes from previous class participants: “Such a fun time learning so many amazing techniques today.”
Teacher Supplies: Wing chair kit, fabric if you choose not to bring your own.
Student Brings:
If you want to use your own fabric, lightweight fabric at least 9” x 21”. I will also have a selection of fabrics to choose from.
6” or 12” Ruler, pen, pencil & marker that will show on your fabric
Cutting Mat & Exacto knife with extra blades
Large Scissors for cutting posterboard & felt
Scissors with sharp, pointed tips for trimming fabric (I like the Fiskars Micro-tip)
Fast Grab Tacky glue (or Elmer’s glue for thin or delicate fabrics)
Toothpicks or glue applicators
8-10 Small spring clamps – 2 types that have at least ¼” opening and ½” opening (heat sinks/smooth alligator clips, hair curl clips, plastic spring clamps)
Paint or stain for wooden Chair Legs
