    I might either sew magnetics into the bottoms or do the snap fastners. Undecided at present.

    I've left the side hems undone so I can do it before I finish up

    I would not use magnets, they attach to parts of the sliding door as you shut it causing damage to bodywork and the mech.

    I hope those are original Vitra Eames chairs and not dodgy copies???? (They look pukka :) )

    I won't lie to you. They are reps. But I did spray them in new colours, so they are one off really.

    But repro and fake are totally different things you know (sorry - I'm a furniture nerd) :)

    Couldn't see the base as it was hiding behind the FAKE CHAIR! ;-)

    One set done. Now I've got the immense task of making the rest the same. . . I didn't even measure my hems, I guessed them. Nor did I measure the initial sizes of material haha.

    Frustrated though. All I can say is never buy heavy duty adhesive velcro. It is so heavy duty that the adhesive is not heavy duty enough for the task. And I tried to sew it and the adhesive just clogged the needle. Oh well. Will have to get some sew-in stuff.

    Runners aren't silent gliss, they are furniglyde or however its spelt. Only about 8 quid per 1.25m length. I shopped for ages to find them that cheap.

    I will make tie backs at the end when I have used all the fabric I need.
