Vintage Wicker Chair Part II

Here she is 

sporting her new duds

The vintage floral linen was just about a yard 

so I used some natural solid linen to make up the difference

Flanged welts are great with vintage fabric 

because they really define the edges of your cushions

There has been quite a bit of discussion about whether you should or can wash old grain sacks....

I always wash them 

Cold water...delicate cycle

 with Mrs Meyers liquid soap

I also add a generous amount of fabric softener

A few times the fabric has shredded,

 but if the areas are weak they are going to give away when the cushions or pillows are made,

 so I like to know before hand. 

Only the areas that were visible are done in the floral

 with the remaining sides finished in the solid linen

This is a great little chair
definitely a statement
and comfy too!
More fun posts on the way
