Wood Arm Chair

Before, a chair inherited from my client's grandma. Sturdy and great lines.



















after...done in a black/white gingham cotton. We chose to let the legs show and not do a skirt. I just finished off the bottom with a row of piping.















I was able to let the wood arm show by leaving an opening. I piped around the opening to make it look more finished and to keep the underneath fabric from peaking out.

Close up of skirt and matching on front

So I am not going to lie....I was a little nervous about how this arm chair was going to turn out, so I put piping in every seam just hoping it would make it looked polished and finished. I decided to do a 4.5" pleat going all one way for the skirt. I like to let the legs show when possible. I was happy with the matching I was able to do on the front with the large repeat. It turned a $2 garage sale find into a fabulous occasional chair for my client.
