Chair Make-Over STILL in Progress!

I hope to be done with the chair make-over this weekend! Here is what the craft room has been looking like lately as I've been working on the pillows for the chair. And no, I don't know what I'm doing! :)

It has been very slow going! And I am having to borrow friend's sewing machines to finish the job. You are getting a sneak peak of the changes, but I hope the end result will look amazing!

Here's the chair the day she came home from Goodwill...

Not too many hours later...the old upholstery just had to go!

I painted the frame Martha Stewart's "Heavy Goose Grey"...and only needed the small $3 sample size.

I added new batting....this made me so happy just to start from scratch and know it was nice and clean!

stapled it in place with a staple gun...

batting in place...now it is ready to be covered with fabric!

next step covered the chair in fabric...still needs welting on edges...

added welting...it's starting to take on some life...

now at work on the upholstery...making the piping for the pillows...

my little beagle just likes to stick around and watch...

covering the pillows...

It was a long process and I ended up doing much of the sewing by hand as I had trouble with the machine.  Check out the finished photos here!!!!
