Create 365 - Day 63

At the time of the pic, two chairs have been recovered in stripey goodness and I drafted a quick pattern (under the scissors) to make matching tiebacks for my lovely but boring black curtains. The leftover strip of fabric, after cutting the pieces for the seats, was just shouting to be used. Why not coordinate?

The only problem is I want vertical stripes and the left over isn't quite long enough in the correct direction for that but... a seam at the center fold might go unnoticed if I do it right at the edges of the stripes. Yes, I think that is the plan for tomorrow. Finish the chairs and then make those tiebacks happen.

Create 365 - Day 62

This is my first attempt at re-covering a chair seat. So, of course, I had to choose something as difficult as a stripe. But, it's stripey goodness and therefore a must.

 

I loves me a staple gun! [Insert maniacal laughter here]
The "before" is on the on the left and the "after" is on the right.

Le sigh ♥.

If you want to try it yourself, here are the best written instructions I've come across. The section on how to get the right measurements for your fabric was spot on for my seats. Always double check before you cut though. Also, there's a lot of youtube videos on how to do it if you need the visual.

Well, 1 down and 5 to go. Later, lovelies!
