Hi blog friends!
Here's another make do chair I finished up this weekend.
I think it's my favorite one yet!
I used an old sack to cover the back and used the excess to make the seat cushion.
I love the old mending spots and all the stains thru out the sack.
Gives it a time worn look.
Although the stains look bolder in the pics and not in person.
Guess what I made the sides from?
An old ironing board!
I split the top angled portion of the board in half!
Here's a view of the back.
See the old mending down to the right.
This one is going to be very hard to part with.
I have two more chairs to finish before the crawl and have a stack of sewing to get working on for the fall.
Never enough time in the day, is it!
Have a great week and thanks for stopping by.
Blessings,
I LOVE this. It is just so prim and you made it yourself! I wish I had the guts to learn how to use my husband's power saw!
