What a good idea. I have an ugly chair I need to cover up. Thanks for the idea.

I WANT ONE!!! Ok, now I have to go back through my stash...and add ANOTHER project to the list...

QUESTIONS:
1. Did you use elastic or just a ribbon to gather and put on your chair?
2. Is it sandwiched?
3. Did you quilt it?
4. Did you put batting in?

You know we are now going be asking you for a tutorial on this... I hope you took pictures :) :) :)

I just wanted to cover my chair and I didn't want just stipes. I'll type up directions if you want, the hardest part was the elastic in the binding, but you could use a draw string of some sort. But didn't want my kitty under my chair all day.

This was going through my mind earlier today. I will be making a valance for the sewing room with novelty fabric. Would like to cover the chair to match. How do I make a cover? What makes it stay in place? Same ???s regarding the seat cover. Tute please?????
