My neighbor gave me a chair, which originally had turquoise vinyl and had been redone, probably in the 1960s, with yellow vinyl.
I discovered a (bark cloth?) bedspread in my basement that had been in my grandmother’s house back in the 1950s. I soaked it in quilt soak and was able to salvage enough fabric to cover the chair and make cording.
I don’t have a BEFORE before picture, because I’m extremely impulsive about projects and tend to dive in and get up to my elbows before I think to take pictures.
I have to admit when I saw the thumbnail picture, I thought it was the original chair because the fabric looked torn. Once I read through and got a better look, I love the fabric.
