Finished by Friday: A Vintage Lawn Chair Gets a New Seat

Remember the 3 old lawn chairs I bought at the Syttende Mai sales? I just replaced the fabric on one of them. It's technically kind of a cheater's Finished by Friday, since only one chair is done so far, but hey.

Wal-Mart had this printed cotton duck. It looks quite like awning striped canvas except that it's just printed, not yarn dyed, so only one side looks good. I doubled the fabric so that the unprinted side never shows, and that did the trick.

  1. Nice re-do! I like extra chairs that fold flat for storage. Hubby did a 'finished by Wednesday' job down in our storage room ... even organized all of my soon to be used canning jars and equipment :) Whats going to the garage sale pile: A 1966 Magnus Electric Organ (child size including original music book) ... (I've dragged it around forever ... a gift from my grandparents that cost $50 back when they purchased it) Misc. pictures (K. Elizabeth snatched them for her new home) ... always good to organize and purge the recesses of the basement. Maybe I should go write a post on my own blog, ya think ;)

I thought Word Verification would be enough to discourage spammers, but evidently not. So I'm turning on Comment Moderation for awhile to see if that helps. Please don't be deterred from leaving real comments. I love them!
