Gift to Me
With a set of old drapes, and mom's old chairs, Natalie made me slipcovers for two chairs. They look new, and snazzy, and are my gift to myself for my birthday. Reduce, reuse, recover!
June, of course I am keeping these. At least till they don't fit. Ha! And Suzanne, I used about maybe 5 to 6 yards of old curtains. They were a woven velour kind of fabric that I loved, and this is just a perfect use for it. I am told that the welting took up a lot of the fabric, but I got lucky.
I hope you're keeping those!
ReplyDeleteThe chair is lovely Pat. How many drape panels did it take to cover two chairs? What a wonderful Idea.
