New Dining Room Clothes

i got the exciting news a few days ago that my boyfriend's mom wanted her 6 dining room chairs recovered! of course i was there to the rescue. these dining room chairs really needed the help, as their seats were covered in an itchy, thick tweed like carpet-y-ish sort of thing. she got a great deal on several yards of a nice gold and burgundy floral, that would accent well with the adjoining sitting room that has a tan couch and two burgundy chairs. here's what they looked like earlier today:







Just after this step, i measured out some batting for each cushion. the seats weren't very thick, so we decided to keep the original fabric, and cover it with batting to add some more cushion and also to mask the texture of the old fabric. i forgot to take a picture of this step...woops...

anywho...next it was time to cut out the fabric. the tricky part was that i had to line up the fabric so that all of the seats looked uniform. good thing there was so much fabric...i had a lot of room to play with, and the print ended up working perfectly.



Once everything was cut out, i busted out my favorite air-powered stable gun and started firing away. here they are!





notice the fab job i did matching up the pattern??!!?!?!?! um, not to pat myself on the back or anything.
