    Guest Room Chair

    I finally found the Slipcover we had made for our simple parsons chairs. I had it made before we moved and then couldn't find it, until this week!!! It was mistaken for quilting fabric and tossed into the fabric basket.
    I was so happy to find it because we've had an ugly brown parsons chair sitting in the corner of the guest room for months now!!

    Because we're planning on outfitting the closet as a mini craft room, I'll need a chair for scrapbooking and sewing. And when it's not in use in the craft closet, it can be used in the guest room as a chair for putting your socks on, or just dropping your overnight bag on to :).


    I found the fabric at Fabricana, and I also found a very nice seamstress who sewed it up for me for $50. It was the best $50 I ever spent, my sewing skills are amateur at best, and definitely up to the task of slipcovers, I'm at a throw pillow level! So for $50 I have a beautiful slipcover and my sanity is still intact, as are all of my fingers :)

    Total Cost:
    The chair is from Craigslist for $5
    The Fabric cost $22
    Seamstress fee $50
    ____________________________
    Total: $77 for a totally customized slip covered chair for our guest room!

      Wow... what a difference a slipcover makes! I'm a sucker for stripes. It coordinates beautifully with the curtains.

      Some throw pillows for the bed in that fabric and the red dots from the curtains would be fun and you could put your own sewing skills to work. ;)

      The slipcover looks great. I live in your area so was wondering if you could pass on the name of your seamstress?

      Thanks so much

      Awesome! The room is coming together nicely. I'm hoping to see some of the chair fabric and the drapery fabric in the quilt along with the rest of the mad colors you're going to use.
