Once the furniture was installed it
was time for Avion Gal to do her thing. Bradd and Hall
suggested covering directly over the old fabric, and
that is just what we did. The addition of the extra
layer of fabric made these parts more luxurious.
We started by removing
all of the parts we needed to cover.
This included an end of the sofa, dinette
doglegs and top caps. We also have a
magazine rack with the same material.
Laying each piece on the fabric allowed
a pattern for cutting. Remember to match
the pattern of the fabric when laying
out.

She has a cool little
pizza cutter gizmo she uses to cut fabric.
The main piece of fabric is wrapped
around the dogleg and stapled. Notice
the other two pieces of fabric she has
cut out. These are used to fill the
gaps caused by the bends and angles
of the dogleg.

Notice that right at the
curve she has inserted the little bow
tie shaped piece. She hot glues that
in place and then the outer material
is folded around and stapled on the
inside.

Now that the dogleg is
finished I think it looks good. I am
also glad that it neither smells like
a dogs leg or an athletes foot.
