As promised here is a picture of the old knitting chair that i have recently re-covered. When i deiced to do this i hadn't realised how much work it would take, as it was the first time i had attempted to do anything like that. Unfortunately i didn't take any photos of how it looked before, but it was dark wood an had a dark red fabric on. The first thing i did was to sand the chair and take it back to the beautiful light colour that it now is, then came choosing the fabric (my favourite part) i have used a one from ikea, as it wasn't to expansive an i loved the design on it! When it came to the actual fitting of the fabric i did cheat an get a helping hand from my mother, very pleased i did though as it took both of us 2 weeks to get it finished, but we did it, and i have to say i am very pleased with end result. Definitely something i will do again.
