I missed yesterday because I was up late Tuesday night working on my project then had to work yesterday. I work again today, but I have a few minutes to post.
I made two pillow shams for my couch. They are wool I think LOL. I am not finished with them because I can't decide what I want to put on them. I'd like to make them work for both fall and winter. I thought about wrapping fabric around them in different colors, but then I think that's not what I want. So who knows what I'll come up with. I know not very interesting.
Next I have hated this chair cover for years. I am not a floral person, but this is what my grandma had it covered in. It kinda goes with the colonial theme, but I hate the colors. LOL. Normally I keep it covered with a blanket or something.
So I decided to make a slip cover. I have never attempted anything like this before. I had the material already in my stash. So I measured, cut and sewed. This is what I came up with. It is not done either as you can tell I still need to hem it because of the skirt still on it.
And I still need to cover the cushion. I am also going to pad the arms and back still. It is not very comfortable as you can feel the wood back through the cushion. I want it to look more like a make do chair. I won't get a chance to work on it til this weekend so I'm hoping to finish it up then.
WOW! How'd you do that? Your chair is going to look great!!! Can't wait to see it finished and the pillows too!!

ReplyDeleteIt looks great so far. I have a chair I would love to recover but don't have a clue on how to start. Have a great day at work.
