Hooray! Upcycled chair

I saw this in a trailer outside someone's house seven years ago, they were cleaning out their sheds because they were moving house. "What are you doing with the directors chair?" I enquired, "Taking it to the tip, do you want it?" "Yes please!!!"

So this chair has been in bloke's shed for seven years, every time he has a shed clear out he says shall I get rid of that chair. "No!" I gasp, I just haven't got round to it yet.

So here is said chair...

It could do with a paint really but I'm back to that time issue problem again so I eased some life into it with some fabric.

Hooray! A new chair for the cabin. In reality it took 15 mins to cut the fabric and 20 mins to sew lines on it to make it fit. The fabric is from my friend, she gave it to me over 5 years ago, this fabric has earned it's place in my sewing basket I can tell you - it has been two shopping bags, a blind, a notice board, a desk tidy and now a directors chair cover. I still have a little bit left over. 

I love things for free all but a little effort, it just needed a seven year period to get it all done!!! Jo x
