Chair Slings x 3

My latest sewing project is three sets of director's chair slings. Each set is three slings; two for the seat and one for the back. Plus one sling with "bais" tape for a large wooden deck chair. I say "bias" because the person who wanted them cut the strips and folded them appropriately; however they weren't cut on the bias.

Handing them to me already made was done looking to save me time. It did, however they weren't folded evenly and the strips were too short and needed to be sewn end to end. It took me 30 minutes just to cut off all of the long dangling threads!

I also needed to rip out the bias tape on both ends of the original sling which held a sheet of thin foam to pad the wooden boards and make it more comfortable.

I'm so proud of my sewing machine. It chugged through most of the multiple layers with no problem, only balking at the very thickest part. It did go through a portion of it, which consisted of two layers of grill cover, eight layers of plain weave cotton home dec fabric, and one layer of thin foam! Yikes!

Here are the new ones
