A challenge

As you know, I said I was going to reupholster a wing back chair. I finally finished it. Whew, what a challenge! I've covered chairs before, but nothing like this one.

So here is the BEFORE.

This is the fabric I chose. It's a soft tan color, like sand, or a cafe latte! I bought seven yards of fabric (the charts listed 5 - 7 yards), and I'm glad I bought seven because there wasn't much left, and it allowed for mistakes (which I did make a few)! I found that the worse part for me was sewing the seat cover. Everything else was stapled or tacked.

These are the tools I used ~ staple gun, scissors, nails, tacks, and a hammer. (Also a sewing machine.)

Here it is AFTER! Finished!!!

It's sitting in the middle of the living room on this photo, because this is where I worked on it.

Here's a side view. Of course, there are a few mistakes (hopefully no one else can see them) and it's not perfect, but to me it's like a new chair!

I've decided to move my new chair into the bedroom in a cozy little corner where I can read at night.

So if you have a project that seems too tough to tackle, just do it! I wasn't sure how this would turn out but took the challenge and I'm happy I did!
