Glider chair revamp

Another project I ( well we... My mother helped) took on, was recovering the glider chair. I purchased fabric online at fabric.com. I found it in the clearance section and ordered 3 yards, for a total of $20.94! This covered the chair and the ottoman and we even have a bit leftover. There are tutorials all over the net on how to do it, but we basically traced all the actual cushions for a pattern.

We then simply placed the new pieces over the old, rather than ripping the whole thing apart. The only spot this posed a problem was the arms because they needed to clip back on the chair and placing the fabric overtop made the, a bit shorter. They took a bit of fiddling to get them back together.

On the ottoman, we made a cover almost like a fitted sheet for a bed. It can be removed and washed if need be. Also, we didn't need to rip it apart and use the staple gun.

It looks like a whole new chair now that it's done! And for less than $25.

 

 

I'm back!

This past year was one of the busiest of my life. I graduated university, finished renovations, worked a new full time job and prepared for a new little one, who arrived July 15! So, now I am one maternity leave for the next year (yeah canada!) and I am able to update on all the projects I have completed this past year. Yes I have still done a lot, but just haven't been able to blog about it. I'm so excited to share all my new projects... I've attached a little photo preview to get you all a bit excited... Stay tuned :)
