The Deconstruction And Reconstruction of a Thrifted Chair

So I was shopping at one of my many thrift stores that I go to, and came accross a chair. a chair that I need for my sewing room.

This chair was ugly,used and…did I say ugly.

But wait the price says $1.99 on sale from $3.99…now thats a deal!

Thrifted Chair

I new I could do something with this chair, so I took it home for a brand new start at life!!

This is what the cushion looked like..dirty and all…it maybe even smelled but I was NOT putting MY nose there…;)

Funny the picture does not show its true color…it is really a dark green.

Now its time to take off the old yucky fabric…YUCK!!

And now this is what I am left with.

Base of Chair

Lets compare the old yucky fabric next to the new fabric I had left over from another project…WAIT…I cant find it…hmmm..lets use this one.

Old fabric-New fabric

What I did was use the base of the chair as an outline for my fabric,only I made sure the fabric was larger than the base. I added new foam to the seat base and after MANY staples it was done…lets take a peek!

Now I have to put it back together…ok done!! here is the finished project that cost me around 5.00 to make…;)

I see that the chair cover looks blueish in the pictures..it really is not, it is more of a green color.
Now to put it in my sewing room…;)
