Hi - I'm doing a first upholstery project (albeit a simple one to test the waters), basically a simple cube stool/ottoman.
Starting with a 45cm plywood cube , I was going to cover the sides in 10mm medium foam and the top with 40mm medium foam. Would this foam be correct for a stool like this?
Also, when it comes to stitching the cover to fit correctly, should the cover be 47cm x 47cm (fully factoring in the width of the foam on the sides) or should I take a bit off this dimension (say 46cm x 46cm) to allow for a snugger fit?
I know these are basic questions but would really appreciate any insight from seasoned upholsterers as the principals seem quite important for various projects.
Thanks in advance, Sarah
