My kitchen table chairs have been in need of recovering for some while. I have recovered them before - two worked well and two did not and I have never got round to rectifying! I decided to do a kind of loose covering after something I saw in a magazine. I pinned it all inside out first
Please don't think that I am mad using white fabric (I know I am) - it is my old bedroom curtains! After I made my new ones, I washed the old ones and hey presto..
A newly recovered chair - you can see one of the old ones in the background - where the fabric never actually covered all of the chair. The covers are fully washable and I dont have little childre in my house, so I am (reasonably) hopeful that they wont have to washed to often!
Although it is half term week I am working Monday to Wednesday. So I am looking forward to having the end of the week off and catching up more on my sewing , and a bit of wallpapering (boo)
This evening I will look forward to cozying up and catching up on blog posts that I have yet to read, perfect
I am the world's most accident prone so me and white chairs would be such a bad mix - but the cover looks brilliantly well done. Just don't invite me for dinner!!
