I had another funky old chair I wanted to recover at work, so I drew a paper pattern of the seat, so I wouldn't have to take the chair home. I wanted to make a cover for the seat, so I decided to quilt the fabric so that it would hold it's shape better.
I then cut it out using my pattern and added the gusset and a drawstring to tighten it on. It actually fit pretty well!
I took some fabric to work with me Monday so that I could reupholster the back, as it was small and looked like it would be easy to do.
I wish I would've take a picture of it before, but I'm not taking it apart again as that back was a booger to get back on, so you will have to just imagine ugly gold vinyl! It is still a pretty funky chair, but at least it is prettier now!
Now it looks so much better that I think I need to make a cover for
my desk chair at work! It's not ugly, but plain, black and boring.
Great job with this. I'd have been scared to try it!
ReplyDeleteThat chair is soooo cool! I want a designer chair for my desk at the grain elevator where I work. The farmers would love it!!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh Jean! That is one awesome chair ... I love it; and you my dear are much braver than me cuz I don't think I'd ever tackle that! I feel certain there's a business there :) I know I'd buy one. Oh and I love the baby quilt below!
