This chair needs a make over! |
I bought these chairs (I have 2) at a garage sale several years ago. They were in good shape when I bought them and they still have "good bones." I wanted to make a slipcover that could be removed and washed when necessary.

To make this process easier, I divided this chair up into 6 sections.
