Here's a picture of the chair covers that I made 'cause I was too cheap to have the chair recovered. Its a "double rail (?) pattern with different sized strips and I made it large enough to tuck in the side and under the seat cushion and the same with the arm covers. Its pinned to the back and under the arms with double pronged pins. Sew far sew good

What a good idea! I like it and especially like the covers.

Jim's Gem 07-13-2010 03:10 PM

I like it!! Great idea!! I have a chair or two that could use a pretty cover like that!!!

Me too for my cat to lay on. She loves the top of the chairs. Great idea.

Where there's a will there's a way. :wink:

Or is that, Where there's a way there's a million others. ;)

No matter, either way, it works great!!! Very inventive!

What a clever idea! Good for you!

Pretty! I love the colors, and it would be perfect for a chair.

Nice of you to do that for her :)

You weren't too cheap, you were too creative! Now then, doesn't that sound much better? Besides, you couldn't have purchased anything that pretty--it isn't on the market.
Whomever sits in the at chair will be sitting in the arms of love.

Great idea. I Need to cover my chair.

dgmoby 07-14-2010 02:56 AM

This is so creative! I've never seen anything like it before. I just love it...and you can tell there's a quilter in the family :)

It really turned out beautifully, too. I have to give you many kudo's for such a great idea!

mollymct 07-14-2010 03:16 AM

I never would have thought of that! Very creative!

dkabasketlady 07-19-2010 05:55 AM

What a great idea!!! Can I borrow it? I've got a couple of recliners(Flex-Steel, so very GOOD quality) that needs to be recovered and I just don't have the money to spend. This way would sure spruce them up!!!

tcrescini 07-19-2010 06:02 AM

Clever, clever!

CarrieAnne 07-19-2010 07:13 AM

What a neat idea!
