When a Curtain is no longer a Curtain

 

I was getting ready for another sale and realized that I needed a piece for the shop.

I've had this parsons chair ( sorry no before picture)  sitting around my shop for quite some time

it was in great shape but I wanted to dress it up a little bit.

I had purchased some Rachell Ashwell curtains at target a while ago that did not work out in my home and I just didn't wa

nt to take them back so they too have been sitting around my shop.

so I made them into a slipcover for this chair.

 

 

 

 

 

 

just a simple gathering in the back with a tie to keep everything snug.

 

There she is all finished up. This chair did make its way to the sale and has sold. Thank you to its new owner for your purchase. 

Thanks for stopping.

and have a great rest of the week

The Chair that never was

It's been awhile since I have visited this little space of mine, that's not because I've been sluffing off, really! 

This is a chair that I did for the shop last month, I was really pleased with the way that it turned out that is, until I went to unload it from the truck and found that it had what appeared to bleach marks all over the fabric they were so faint I didn't even see them until I was out in the bright sunlight.  I have not idea how they got there, so .... I decided that I would try and bleach the whole thing well..... that didn't work so I thought I'd dye the slipcover a deep brown and that didn't work either. so I ended up tossing the whole thing in the trash!!!!

 

 

oh yeah and did I mention that I lined the whole thing too. oh well I'm glad I got a couple of pictures of it before I tried to "fix" it.
Thanks for Stopping by  and I really am going to get better about posting projects.  Big plans for this New Year, Happy 2013!
