A new lease of life

Marina's chair was cowering in a corner covered with pretty pink rugs because nearly 30 years of use - three babies etc.etc. had taken it's toll.
I have enjoyed playing with it and giving it a new cover.

I brought up the old cover from Evans Head and picked it apart working out which order it had been made in and then cut out the pieces in RED!




 I didn't have the chair here while I was making the loose cover and so had to keep trying it on my Ikea chair - which of course it didn't fit!!


Then the chair arrived up here in the back of Bill's 4WD so it could have a final fitting


Not a perfect fit - it looks as though it would sit well in an English country estate!


AND it's about to be moved to the verandah again and covered with a sheet so that it can be collected and taken home again.  I hope Marina has many happy hours of reading in it!
