I’ve been sewing for more than half my life, but one thing I’ve never done is upholstery. I’ve done cushions, quilts & drapes, but never have I actually put fabric ON a piece of furniture. Well, that’s about to change. I got a lovely, comfortable chair for free about a year ago, and we love it for storytime with the kiddos. The only problem is that the previous owner’s cats totally shredded it, so it has a really ugly slipcover on it. I hate slipcovers. They need to be adjusted every time you get up since sitting on them makes them look sloppy.
Since we’ve had the chair for a year and we’re sure we want to keep it, I’ve decided to give it a facelift. Here it is in all its clawed glory…
Now I just need to find some upholstery websites, add up my measurements, and figure out how many yards of fabric this is going to require. Should be fun!
