Make My Week #4 – Lounge Chair Re-Cover
Okay without sounding too vain I think this might be the awesome-est thing I have made. It could even be the awesomest lounge chair ever… that’s how much I love it.
I re-covered this year in 2010 (my first year of blogging) and although I liked it at the time it never really worked. Here is the results first time.
Here it is in progress.
Last year I was inspired by some über expensive patch-work couches I saw in magazines and a friend even pulled one out to give me when she saw one. It was meant to be.
I tried really hard to get a smooth tight finish and use fabrics that had a bit of weight (one of my mistakes from last time).
I LOVE this chair. And it’s all stash apart from the faux-suede/leather back part.
Total cost about $6 for the floral suede/leather/pleather plus some money for staples, glue gun and thread.
Other cool creative types doing inspiring things over here. Wait til a bit later in the day when the new link is up and there are some things to see. My post always goes up a bit earlier than the link.
Photo of the back?? Looks great. Very you colours and I can see the house is going to have a real ‘look’ by the time we next get to visit.

Wow – not sure I have the patience to tackle something so intricate, but it looks great:) I bet its the focus of the room:) Cyndy
Love it. Very well done!
Love that! Got to think about doing it for one of our chairs; the cats have paid it a bit too much attention and it’s feeling rather sad.
This looks amazing!! Go you!
Hey Miriam, you did a fab job! Can I ask how you did it? I’m so beginner, so I’m wondering if you followed a technique or winged it?? I have a couch I would loooovvvee to recover, but I’m thinking it will be farrr to complicated. How did you find the complexity of this?
