Pooh Chair re-done





Remember the Pooh foam chair in my previous post?  I worked on it over the weekend and it is recovered,  I won't win any prizes for my upholstery skills  but the chair is clean now and matches the living room.  Elizabeth approves of the final result and that is all that matters. 

Gavin has not yet seen it finished.  He saw it when I was working on it and kept saying "chair chair chair"   He is in a phase where he repeats himself a lot.  I am pretty sure he will like the redone chair too. 

not too bad for a $4 thrift store find and fabric from my closet. 

 the cute baby kind of  increases the chair's cuteness

just because she is so cute too

Gavin and Bobby spent the night here Friday night
Gavin says he likes Uncle Bobby's beard shorter. 



I found this cabbage roses fabric on clearance at Walmart.

I intended to just buy a couple yards but
I liked it so much as the clerk was unrolling it.....
I just bought the whole bolt.
It is a very nice fabric,
American made even!





the fabric reminds me of my anniversary roses

I found this foam chair at the thrift store.
He is very worn so I took off the Pooh cover
and am attempting to pin on a
new cover to sew up. 
I am usually fearless with fabric but
this project is trickier than it looks.

Gavin and Elizabeth -
we are working on learning
to share
but it may be a while
until we have it mastered.
