Almost Done

This is the fabric I went with. I had Joe come with me to the fabric store to help me decide. He wasn't a huge help, but he did say No Way to anything with pink in it because, "What if a guy wants to sit in the chair!?" Good point, pink has cooties!

We narrowed it down to two and this won. I am happy with the fabric. I'm still working on the final product, but this is a good idea of what it will look like. I need to do some hand stitching of some ends so they look clean and also put the back panel on. I may or may not add the buttons. If I can figure out how to do it and it's easy, then sure, but otherwise I probably won't mess with it. It doesn't look as professional as it did before, but it was a fun project. If my back can handle it I'll definitely be doing more reupholstering.

The last two times I've gone to the chiropractor my back cracks in a million places. The Dr always asks, "What have you been doing?" I feel dumb saying, "Reupholstering a chair!" So I just smile and say, "That felt good!"
