Next I'll do the top/edges of the back (the strip of yellow right now), then the flap that covers the back, and finally the back cushion... then I'm done! I can't work on the back cushion till I get a zipper though and that probably won't be until Sunday, so I should be done on Monday! </p> [attach=1264/13/msb6rp.600x584.20130829_130410-1.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-mr-toddler-you-need-to-nap-because#post-1050845 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 22:18:31 +0000 Navy_Mommy 1050845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: it's really just a matter of putting everything down exactly how you pulled it up. Some pieces have metal strips of spikes that can be rolled under the fabric and hammered down to completely hide it, others you staple then fold over. It just depends on the piece of furniture you're working on. (One of those metal strips is actually what I stepped on and punctured my foot lol) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-mr-toddler-you-need-to-nap-because#post-1050731 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 21:16:11 +0000 Mrs.M57 1050731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cuteness! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-mr-toddler-you-need-to-nap-because#post-1050623 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 20:18:17 +0000 Navy_Mommy 1050623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Finished one side... then stepped on a sharp metal piece I left on the ground (dummy) so I'm calling it a night and putting my foot up! </p> [attach=1264/13/ms9qaj.538x600.20130828_181142-1.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-mr-toddler-you-need-to-nap-because#post-1050272 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 16:52:14 +0000 Navy_Mommy 1050272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@evansjamie: it's an exhausting process. You remove staples till you feel like you have carpal tunnel (lol) then it's just a matter of putting things back on in the exact way you pulled them off. I luckily have a staple gun, I can't imagine doing it without one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-mr-toddler-you-need-to-nap-because#post-1049888 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 14:16:31 +0000 MrsBrewer 1049888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG!!!!

I love seeing all of your DIY posts. Where do you get your fabrics? I am looking for inspiration fabric for our nursery but am getting stuck. The fabric I want I can't find so I am trying to find other inspiration. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-mr-toddler-you-need-to-nap-because#post-1049019 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 09:53:28 +0000 allison 1049019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Navy_Mommy: so I'm sure it's much more involved than this, but are you just stapling the fabric along the "seam", then folding it over? How did you hide the staples on the red stripe part? Obviously I've never reupholstered anything in my life, but I'm interested in learning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-mr-toddler-you-need-to-nap-because#post-1048910 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 09:30:28 +0000 LovelyPlum 1048910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Navy_Mommy: oh my gosh, that is amazing!
