Wings for the Fireside

Here is one of a pair of small winged parsons chairs, and they will book end the fireplace in my client's home.  Nice way to spend some of the chilly mornings we've been having.  Loved the color way of greens and blues on the charcoal ground of the fabric, perfect for cozying up to a warm fire.
Working in large scale floral is always fun, and I try to minimize the break in pattern to keep the flowers flowing.  In this design, the back and sides of the chair were cut in one piece from one width of fabric, as were the inside arms, seat and front panel and corner pleats.  
Below are a few clips from the draping design process.

Beautiful Linda. You do those skirts so well. Is that a banded bottom at the skirt?

It does look like banding, Angie. But what appears to be banding is really the hem of the skirt folded and stitched and pressed. This eliminates the hem stitching showing for a neat finish.

You do lovely work. I love the fabric on the small chairs, the blue floral on the grey background. Could you give me the name of he fabric?
Thanks in advance, Susanne.

Thank you Suzanne. Yes the fabric was a lovely jacobian print and had such a nice weight especially after pre washing. My client purchased the fabric from a local retailer and so sorry I really don't recall the brand.
