Joe, you did a great job on that case! I was given (several years ago) a love seat that was covered in the ugliest orange colored fabric I've ever seen. Then, I acquired (free) new upholstery fabric to recover everything. I stripped that love seat down to the springs and bare wood. The springs were hand tied, and the wood frame was built like a brick outhouse! It took me a long time to complete the job, but I finally finished it, using the old fabric for a pattern. I even made piping for the edges of the cushions. The love seat still looks great. I even bought an air stapler to attach the fabric to the frame. That hand stapler was just too doggone hard to operate. I used my old Singer 328K to sew the upholstery. My ego may get the best of me, but I did a darned good job and I'm proud to have it in my living room! You should be very proud of the jobs you've done on these cases! They're terrific!
