This chair is in such a bad way!…the cover was made years ago now and it has been in the washing machine sooooo many times!…hence there has been alot of fraying going on! all around the edges…I have sewn it before!…but still it frays away!
So the other day I found some gold safety pins and thought! hey! I will try and patch up my ‘ole fraying chair….and this is how it turned out!…Everyone that visits, looks at me as if I have gone mad! lol! when I show them what I have done! as in some places, it does look a tad ODD BOD’ish (lol) but hey ho! I love the look of it overall!
Theres no accounting for taste eh! ;D
Brilliant idea with the saferty pins.It is so the sort of thing that I would do and my children would think 'Yep, that's the crazy sort of thing my mother would do 'I absolutely love your blog 🙂
Your blog is full of inspiration so glad I found it.

So Funny! You are Definitely original, that's for sure!!! Just hope they don't pop open as you grip to get up!!!!LOL Ummm!? I don't suppose there's a new chair cover in the pipeline by any chance – I'd luuuurv to see what pretty fabric you'd use – clever girlie xxxx
its a little bit along the lines of "that dress!" liz hurley wore all those years ago!!!charlx
LOL…Bless you, you are sweet ;-)) dee x
I want that owl! Lol, gorgeous!
I had the same problem and could not bear to throw the chair out so took some fabric from the back and made 2 arm covers to slip on. It has given it a few more years of life anywayxxx
Ive heard of make do and mend but is this going a bit too far? he he…. Its obviously a dearly loved chair….I have duck tape around my study chair arms……!! xx
