living room ideas with chesterfield sofa
let's speak about the materials we need for making of the sofa “chester†the frame will be made from wooden timbers (size 45*50) and from plywood (10mm). we will need foam (50mm, 40mm and 30mm). the exact amount of materials will be named in the detailed drafting which will be attached to the course in addition to this we need a grosgrain ribbon. it is sold in all furniture stores. this roll costs about 1000 rub. there are different ribbons. some ribbons are more stretchy than others a price depends on it. you can use any ribbon. buy cheaper. the main thing is a bursting strength. i am sure you can use one roll for two sofas. threads i have got a sleave of threads. the thread is strong here. it will be doubled. this sleave is 200 m long. it costs 100 roubles. may be it will be enough for 2-3 sofas. but if you want to buy caprone threads, look for the cheapest one. in our shops a sleave of caprone threads 20 m long costs 100 roubles. it will be enough for 20 sewing on buttons at most. that’s why it is more competitive to buy one big sleave. in addition you'll need buttons. if you do not use a press and do it yourself, you’ll have to buy them. 500 buttons cost about 500 roubles. you’ll need 150-160 buttons for one sofa. it depends on size of your sofa. consumable materials: pva adhesive. i glue all the details that are screwed with self-tapping screws. we choose the screws depending on the thickness of our timbers. then i glue them, but it's not obligatory.
the frame can get rickety in course of time and cry out. if we smear wooden timbers with glue, squeaks will never appear. staples i have got staples of two size, 10 mm and 17 mm. with staples of size 10 mm i fix fabric and thin layers of foam and everything else. foam folded in 3 layers plus fabric i fix with longer staples. there are 5000 staples in pack. it will be enough for several sofas. for covering of my sofa i use leather substitute. i need 10 long m.
