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!!
