I see what you mean about re-covering being easy, but making that patchwork fabric was time-consuming, so I wouldn't want to go that route again too soon. Thanks so much for the link - I'll have to check that out!

I used a staple gun which is about the limit of my diy skills. If I can find a photo I'll try to post it. Your chairs came out really nice. I didn't worry much about stainproofing because it was so easy to cover them I figured I could do it again in the future.

NO...I like my guests too much, I want to make them comfortable. The downside is that I also don't sew!Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10855937323223067598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193495388714584422.post-44396913351762215992014-02-04T12:55:34.366+00:002014-02-04T12:55:34.366+00:00Oh Beryl, spectacular idea!Oh Beryl, spectacular idea!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239488936038510294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193495388714584422.post-85044540420714299762014-02-03T15:03:13.316+00:002014-02-03T15:03:13.316+00:00Good job!

I have never done anything other than paint, but I have friends who do wonderful things with staining kits, like Miniwax, or some such product. Maybe you need another holiday in Nice and leave the job to Bill? ;)Berylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08386043271411304736noreply@blogger.com
