He removed the old fabric, the staples.....I cut the pattern, sewed the pieces together.....and he stapled and stretched and stapled some more! Snip, sew, staple...........something like that. Here it is.....the new and improved chair. I LOVE IT! I love HIM for helping me! He's the best husband and pal 'o mine. Didn't turn out too badly for amateurs.
(Six yards of continuous fabric + a lot of time, elbow grease and persistence = a new chair)
Oh, and happy September 1st! Now that it's here, I think I can get used to the idea that Fall is on the way......although I'm still savoring whats left of you, Summer......like these gorgeous sunflowers.......
waving at you............

Thanks ladies! We enjoy a challenge every now and again! This was definitely a challenge.......make your own pattern, put it back to together.
Seriously gorgeous! I have a chair in my basement that I've been wanting to reupholster for about a year now. I wonder if I can convince my husband to lend me a hand!
WOW! Beautiful. And I love those sunflower pics with the Emma B in the background too!
