Do you remember my post about the chair I was planning to revamp and patchwork? Well, it's moving on quite nicely. I managed to get the seat completed at the weekend so will now move onto the back of the chair.
To an upholsterer I've probably made 101 mistakes, but considering I've never upholstered a chair before, let alone in patchwork, I feel mighty pleased.
The front part was a little tricky and required a couple of 'hospital type corners' and then trying to get the lines to line up was somewhat interesting.
Unlike various other projects where I tend to bulldozer my way through, I took my time and even tacked where I needed to, and it paid off tremendously especially when trying to get it straight and even.
I'll keep you posted with the back and will hopefully have one of those tra-la la moments very soon......!
TTFN.

OK, now I want one. It's gong to be lovely! Have a great summer...
I bet it has been tricky as it isn't a completely regular shape- you are so clever! It looks really pretty:)
I think your chair looks fab.
Who cares what an upholsterer would think, and nice and cheap as well.
Mind out you don't get the patchwork bug and start covering every thing you can find, I got that once. lol

That looks like its going to be an amazing chair once its finished. The mix of fabrics, patterns and colours looks really vibrant.
I know what you mean about bulldozing your way through projects as I'm the same. I want to get to the end result as quick as possible!
It's looking good so far - look forward to seeing the finished product!
