BEFORE

My latest project has been re-covering my cushions on my kitchen chairs. My great-uncle gave us his old table and chairs earlier this last summer. We were in need of a bigger table with our growing family and it has suited us just perfect! It has this awesome leaf that folds down and stores in the table.
I really liked the back of the chairs when I got them, they are different than anyother I have seen.
But the cushions just HAD to go. (can you see the fringe?)
So I found some cute material at Home Fabrics in Boise and finally went to work on it.
After making one cushion, I realized I had to be honest with myself: I would most likely not want to cover them again anytime soon, I would most likely never want to take them off to wash,
and they were going to get dirty no matter what I did. So I decided to cover the cushions with vinyl.
I think that once they've been spilt on 5 times in one day...I will be glad I did the vinyl!
With 3 little kids - we love wipe-able surfaces. I think it's going to work out just GREAT! :)

Great Job, Annikan! Now that you're a pro you can help me recover my chairs :D
Anni! I love your new covers! You are amazing, and you have inspired me to "learn" something new! I love crafty projects and use to do them all the time, but I have lost that part of myself somehow since Berlyn was born. Except for some adorable burp cloths I made for Brittnee's new baby, I haven't made or re-finished a project in a long time. I am inspired once again...Thank you!
Way to go! I badly need to cover my chairs too, but I guess I figure we need a new table worse! Vinyl is a great idea. Did you cover the fabric with vinyl or does the fabric you got have a vinyl side already?
many people have asked me about the fabric. it is canvas material covered with a clear piece of vinyl. sewing the back of the pad is a pain, but it looks cute!
