We bought one of our granddaughters, the oldest, a used drum set for Christmas. I hope she learns to play this. She plays the drums in the school band. There was a tiny hole in the stool, so I decided to recover it. I have never sewn with leather, so this was a new experience for me. I did this several weeks ago, but I could not post it because I was afraid she would see it on my blog. She likes to keep up on Grandma and see what I post.
Here is what I removed from the seat. I took the cover apart and used that as my pattern. The cushion still seemed to be in perfect condition so I reused it.
I cut out my circle and then folder the circle in half and then half again to find the center and placed a dot with my ink pen. Then I drew another circle on the back of the leather in about 1/2 inch. This was going to be my sewing line. I knew I had to be perfect the first time because you cannot rip out mistakes without the holes showing.
I am top stitching around the edge of the seat cushion
Then I stapled the cushion back on to the wood base.
Here is the finished seat. I also painted her some designer drum sticks. She loved them!!
