Pattern-matched around curves of chair

Upholstery Journal | August 2009

This chair would have been a simple “fluff and puff,” but the curves and the plaid made pattern matching difficult. A silk trim sewn to skirt panels continues the flow through the folds. The skirt took as much time as the upholstery work. The pattern matched around the arm fronts using sunburst pleating. 16 to 18 hours.

Judges comments: It’s difficult to match curves but this was done perfectly. Creative touch in adding the silk band to the skirt. The fronts of the arms use excellent pleating. Skirt matching is impressive.
