I went to a fabric store and saw prices for fabric to cover the chair and wasn't sure what to do after I added up the price but i'm going to go with your idea. I have only just started to sew again after only making an apron and am nervous to take on such a big project. I am excited to come look through your blog tonight! I will be on the look out for some old sheets at goodwill, thank you again!<br />LauraLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17064191239563882952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5505729308545794459.post-35696898444476654652012-03-31T00:51:54.323-04:002012-03-31T00:51:54.323-04:00I would go back to goodwill and purchase 2 or 3 ol...I would go back to goodwill and purchase 2 or 3 ols sheets and then just cut and sew away until you get what you like and then use that as a pattern for better material...pinterest has some great tuts on slipcovers...I am new follower...come visitPhyllis @Around the Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06518514759461027787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5505729308545794459.post-733585417024981552012-03-28T09:47:36.069-04:002012-03-28T09:47:36.069-04:00Laura I love the idea for the chair!!

It is an absolute handicap when it prevents you from getting to the heart of things. <br /><br />However, it is a process, working through disciplining yourself to Him. God is one patient Father, and He knows you young'ns sometimes need to do what you do until you discover He knows better. (That's what took ME so long to learn, anyhow.) However, my young friend, you are MUCH farther along in your faith journey than most young people of your generation, so take heart that you are on the right path.<br /><br />By the way, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the projects you shared! A friend of mine and I found a chair on the side of the road once, and we took that thing apart, repaired it and refinished it -- and it turned into her desk chair for her bedroom. I haven't a clue what happened to that chair, but we were so excited about that chair that we took it to show her dad when he was in the nursing home, a few months before he passed. Be encouraged by your forays into these projects. Learning to give a discarded object new life again is a fun journey, indeed!<br /><br />Well, I need to get to bed, too. There is a lot to do before this DC trip begins on Friday! :-) Blessings, Laura. <br /><br />GBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
