Remember the chair project that I was going to finish back in April? Let me refresh your memory.
Well guess what?! I finished it! The Nana came down this weekend and helped me complete the project – sewing the cushion. She calmly explained how to put the zipper in, reminded me to leave extra seam allowance, and suggested I press before sewing. The Nana is a sewing master.
Wooooo! Will show you a pic of it in my house once my dad brings it over at the end of this week.

6 months ago, I decided to rip apart the upholstery on a chair at my parent’s house. It needed help bad, and I figured, how hard can this be? Slap some fabric on it, good as new right? NO. WRONG. Upholstery is difficult, time consuming, and your husband WILL NOT help you when the Broncos game is on.
Here is a photo of the chair before:

Fast forward 6 months. The chair is still a work in progress, I got scared away when I started working on the cushion and it was very time consuming to sew the cording.
But guess what, I will finish this sucker. My new goal is to have it done by the end of April. Wish me luck, I will need it. Don’t make my mistake, sometimes hiring someone to do the re-upholstery job will be worth it. Although expensive, they would’ve had it done in at least 1/6 of the time it has taken me. And realistically, at the same cost that I’ve spent on this “little” project.
