If my day job doesn't work out...

For the longest time, I have been looking at this chair in my bedroom. This was my grandmother's sitting chair in her living room. When she passed away it was something I was happy to have. It is super comfortable. She had the original 1970's orange color covered up with this floral slipcover.

I have been wishing I could get it recovered. I looked into getting one of those pre-made slipcovered. Sadly, they were always too big and they didn't ever fit right. I bought some fabric years ago and even some in Cambodia to do it myself and then that failed for various reasons. I was saving the redo for when I have a real job and a real income to fund the project. Well, instead I got creative. Yesterday, I was trying to find something in my linen bins and came across the fabric I bought. I decided I should just go ahead and do it myself. I went to walmart and purchased some permanent double sided fabric tape and some upholstery pins. And viola here is the resulting product...

I ended up having to hand sew the end parts of the arm rest.

 I am so impressed with my own work. I just keep looking at it when I walk by. I think this will be the end of my craftiness for a long time but gives me hope that I do have some other talent should I need it.
