No Sew Dining Room Chair Makeover!

NO SEW DINING ROOM CHAIR MAKEOVER

I love this trick of using a little fabric and tucking here and there to create a beautiful new look for minimal amount of time and money….who doesn’t love that?

I have two beige colored parsons chairs and the other four have wicker or rattan backs with blue and white fabric that I normally use in this dining room.

You can see it HERE

Easy steps for No Sew Dining Room Chair Makeover

1. Measure your chair from the seat (add some for tuck in) and up and over to see how much you will need.

2. Purchase some coordinating fabric that you like (I got this from Joann’s) then drape over the chair to see how much you will need per chair. The fabric is doubled here…see next photo.

3. Cutting! I cut the fabric right in half. Y

ou won’t need much because you will be gathering it up in the middle and it will look fuller.

4. I folded over each side so that no raw edges were showing.

5. Tuck in the bottom so that it won’t come undone when someone sits in the chair.

6. For the back I simply pulled it together using some burlap ribbon I found from Hobby Lobby. I did not finish the bottom edge and it looks great!

Here is what it looks like now. I switched out the striped rug to the natural sisal looking one and if you want to see more of the fall tablescape you can see it HERE

Happy Fall!

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
