I must say, I've had a bit of a break over the festive period. The main reason due to becoming ENGAGED on Christmas day! And since then becoming consumed by all things 'wedding'!
But I'm starting to come down from my cloud now, its back to work and cold January nights. So what better time to get back to creating, fixing, making and selvaging?
When I'm strapped for cash but need seating for the kitchen table, I can't go past Ebay. We picked these little beauties up for just £14 for 4. Thank you very much. Just look at the detail in that back, I love how the wood has been naturally rubbed away over time. Ooooh past life.
I actually really like the emerald coloured leather the chairs came with, but my fiance (eeeee!) didn't, so we compromised and chose to recover. Que gorgeous duck egg upholstery fabric splurge!
Armed with a staple gun and scissors, I placed the seat over the fabric, snipping around it with enough room to fold up the sides. I wanted to keep the original seat cover...just in case. A couple of staples and about 15 minutes mastering those tricky corners and voila! Just like making a canvas but for a chair. Try it with your own patchwork fabric designs or mismatched fabrics with a similar colour theme.
