So close to finishing this chair

I'm so darn close to having  a finished chair. SO CLOSE. In fact, the chair is now in my house-but still missing a cushion. Here's what I did yesterday. First, I covered the cushions in dacron.
Then I stitched the dacron -by hand- together.

Then I hand stitched the last few parts of the chair (along the sides and the back). This took me about...4 hours. And the whole time I was doing this, my teacher, Kathi, was sewing a cushion for me. I mean I'm still going to take credit for it, but she did it and it's perfect. Kathi agreed to work on the last cushion for me and then it will be done. Here's the heart breaking part. It just doesn't fit in my house.I even tried to move a loveseat out and this chair in, and it just didn't work. Grace cried when I told her we were going to give it to uncle Mike.
 Soon I will post the after picture! Soon! And then send it on to Mike's house :(

  1. Once I had a sofa reupholstered and was shocked at how much it cost. With all the work that goes into this - now I understand! You're doing a beautiful job.
