Never did add buttons to this set of cushions so on taking them off to wash, they never got put back together......
I found them yesterday buried in the craft room with several other cushion covers. As I am trying to turn some old dining chairs into upholstered chairs I wondered if the cushion covers would fit and make covers?
They did....so a spark of an idea was formed
The 3rd red Moss stitch covers I am making also fits snugly over the chair back as well.
So rather than making fabric covers (Sewing always feels like work these days) I will make crochet ones.......9 granny squares will make the seat and 24 will make a complete back with a plain underside to the seat section.
4 chairs to cover and so many ideas I think would work
Phil has asked if I would make a couple of covers for Berties front seat too...
and he likes the Bobble hex lap blanket..funky hey?
Lovely chair covers! I especially like the last one of the Bobble hex lap blanket. The colours and texture are great.

You are such an inspiration! I would love to make some chair covers, but my chairs are curved Windsor ones and I'm not sure what to do.. maybe a big granny circle? Have a great week! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Teresa, have mailed but hexagons are great for curves.
