Summary

Description
English: This illustrated set of instructions explains how a "comfortable and attractive chair for the bachelor girl's room can be made from an ordinary dry goods box".
  • Text: A comfortable and attractive chair for the bachelor girl's room can be made from an ordinary dry goods box. Let the box be four feet long and from fifteen to twenty or twenty-four inches wide, and from fifteen to eighteen inches deep. Take off one side of the box, and into one end of it fit and nail another box, slightly smaller, and only between fifteen and seventeen inches high. This is the seat of the chair. Leave the back the full four feet in length, saw off the sides so that when one is seated in the chair the elbows will fall just a little below them. Saw from the boards taken from the sides two narrow strips, and nail one flat and firmly upon each arm or edge of the shortened sides. These make the flat arms of the chair. Cover the whole with denim, tightly drawn and securely tacked. Provide the chair with a tufted pad, by cutting a little larger than the seat of the chair (since the cushion is made smaller by tufting), several thicknesses of felt or of old quilts, and by slipping the whole into a denim slip and tufting neatly by catching through with a furniture needle and tying the cord on the under side. Further fit up the chair with a sofa cushion.
