Beautifully illustrated chair fabric by 1canoe2 |
I recovered my boring old deskchair with this amazing fabric from Spoonflower. The plastic back of the backrest popped right off (with a bit of prying with a screwdriver) which made it easy to stretch the fabric around and hide my messy stitches. It was just like stretching a canvas, but with nothing to staple into, I sewed directly into the existing fabric. Just big messy stitches - who's going to see them? For the seat I just made a casing hem and put in a drawstring and pulled it snug. Voila!
What an appropriate use for that fabric!
