It’s been a long time coming, finally got all of my uphosltery supplies together. My wife and I made the cushions last weekend. We decided not to go with a traditional look with vinyl or leather. I think for the first time of doing any kind of upholstery work I think they turned out pretty good. Took us a good part of Saturday and Sunday last week, but well worth it I think. They are very comfortable. The plans for these were from a 2004 issue of Woodsmith. Our entire living room set will eventually be A&C style furniture. I’m working on a side table that I have designed to go between the chairs. Then I’d like to build the accompanying foot stools for this. I think I have enough material and foam for both.

I didn’t really keep track, but I think it was about 100 hours of wood working. Maybe 8 hours for the uphosltering.

Nice work. I have been waiting to see how you were going to upholster them. It came out great. I tried to see what it would cost to get some cushions make and it was something like $600 per chair. I bet you saved a boatload doing it yourself.

Lately. I’ve become a real Arts & Crafts fan & a Morris chair is on my short list of things I want to make. Thanks for reminding me to get moving. Great job! -SST
