That is awesome. I also tend to sleep in mine so I think I will try to make this cover. Thanks for the idea.

Is the back and seat sewn together? I love your fabric and it looks so fresh without having the recovered look. You are talented.

I love this and will be anxious for the tute. I want to know what fabric you used? A designer or just cotton quilting? I can wait for the tute, just eager!! Thank You for sharing!!!!

I'm glad you like it and I am working on a tute...you guys are very persuasive! The fabric is quilting cotton that I bought online on sale (can't remember which site) and it's a Celtic design made in England. I intended to use it as quilt backing but when this project came along, it's the one DH picked out of my stash.

Home dec weight fabric might be more durable than quilting cotton but I'm not sure whether I would quilt it or not....would just depend on the weight of the fabric. The one I'm going to use for the tute is a poly micro suede that I bought for an upholstery project and didn't use. I've used square of it to protect other chairs from our dogs and it wears well, doesn't wrinkle much and washes up beautifully.

When you see the tute, you'll see that there isn't a pattern involved. I just used the same techniques as making slipcovers, which are not all that hard to do. Before I started quilting a longtime-quilter friend told me that if I could make a slipcover then I certainly could make a quilt! She was right, but I think quilting is harder!

I'll get to work on the tute this weekend and get it posted soon.

Oh...someone asked if the seat portion was a separate piece. No, it's just one long rectangle and you tuck in a little bit at the back of the seat.

I would like to know how much fabric it took to make the cover, please.

Great idea and love how you got the fabric lines to line up so perfectly. Just beautiful. Can't wait for the tute
