New Chair Covers

Our dining chairs got a new look recently.


This was its original colour:


Producing the new chair covers started as an experiment as No. 1, I had no experience in making chair upholstry and No.2, I can't imagine how the fabric I had would turn out dressing chairs. After I made a prototype, I did a survey of the family members on what they thought. Hubby thought it looks good, KK gave it thumbs down. It was down to XX to decide and he, as usual, was supportive of everything I did. I decided to go ahead and make the cover for the other five chairs.

My workmanship is as usual amatuer but it was at least fitting. I have feedback that this new fabric looks even better than the old one. But I should use a thicker material. The advantage is these covers can be removed for washing, so it'll protect the original seat from stains and dirt. When I move to our new place, I might make another new set of covers to complement the colours of the interior.
