Here are a couple of pictures of a little vanity chair that I found a couple of years ago at a garage sale. She has been waiting patiently in my shed forever, being pushed aside, thinking I'll never get to be pretty again. Well one day Lisa, at Tarnished & Tattered was over and we looked in my shed. She saw this dirty little pink chair and loved it. That made me think that I really needed to do something with this little lady. The metal part of the chair is wonderful and the wooden part was still in good condition. So I took some pictures and went to work. I spent several hours taking off the old fabric. It was so dirty and horrible. I used the fabric to cut some paper patterns, then cut the material, getting it ready for the new transformation. It took a couple of days to get the seat and back molded into the little pillow pockets. But when it was finished I loved it, hope you do too. I've got it completely ready to sell.
Well this is my little lady in all her glory. Hope you like her. I had such a good time dressing her up in all this new finery. She had went from dull and dirty to a lovely lady waiting for someone to love her as much as I do. Hope you have enjoyed my little trip today and now I will work some more on the antique wooden desk chair. I am ready to start the embroidery on the Crazy Quilted chair cushion. Come back soon and have a wonderful night sweet friends.
Hugs, Pat

Good for you finishing your chair! Doesn't it feel good to finish something? I wish I could finish up with all this paperwork I am buried under. I am hoping that I will come up for air next week. You sounded so much better on the phone the other day. Glad you are feeling better. Reba had been doing GREAT for almost a week now but, today she had a super BAD day. ????? They changed her food & I think that threw her pancreais off wack again. HUGS! Charlene
Pat amor, your lil chair came out sooo pretty, I have 3 or 4 of those in my shed, that I had bought with the intention of using them for my lil girl who is now taller than me, in her playhouse, well we never did and I was actually thinking of tossing them out, but now seeing your wonderful redo, makes me want to try my hand on ours, athough mine didn't have the tufting like that, I love how that looks...beautiful Redo! Besos, Rose
