Isn't that fun? Here it is before...
If you have a sewing machine than, this is a really easy project. This is not your grandma's style of applique. There is no ironing the rough edges under, we want to rough edges to show, so the flower has a imperfect look.
For this project I decided to applique a flower over the monogram. Step 1: Cut out your shapes & take the stuffing out of the chair.
Step 2: Glue the shapes onto the chair, covering the monogram.
Step 3: Applique your pieces onto the chair
Step 4: Restuff your chair, and enjoy! (Or in my case, give it back to your client)
Here is a link to Pottery Barn's Kids "Anywhere" Chair.
This same process can be used to cover stains, rips, or other issues you may have on chairs, pillows, clothes....I think you get the idea. I would love to see what you come up with, send me a comment and include pictures.
Thanks for joining me!

ReplyDeleteKatherine,
ReplyDeleteWe are so glad you are following us! Thank you!
Great idea :) It was funny to read this today because I was just looking at PBK yesterday to purchase one of these chairs for my daughter who is just 6 months old. There are two sizes and I'm debating on the regular size or oversized one. Any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteI love it!!!
ReplyDeleteI am telling everyone I want to start sewing...
I have not touched my sewing machine in YEARS!!
I love how this is so easy, with the rough edges!
Thank you!!!
Sarah,
ReplyDeleteBoth chairs are great, but I would recommend the oversized chair so you daughter can use it longer :) Send us a picture if you get a chance. Thanks for joining us today!
Claudine,
ReplyDeleteStart sewing again! Don't wait any longer! Please send us a picture of your first project.
The flower turned out incredible! I never would have thought to do an applique on a chair. It's genius! Thanks for sharing at oopsey daisy!
