Fishished Object Friday...The chair

Wow, I finally have finished object. I have to many objects I want to have finished but never seem to get them done, they are all so cute in my mind. Anyway back to my chair, I am borrowing a desk and chair from my Mother inlaw ( it was her mothers) and as you can tell the chair was not too beautiful or comfy, so I helped it out a little. I would love to paint it but this will have to do for now.
I removed the seat and covered it with about four layers of quilt batting (so my seat would be comfy on this seat) and them I measured out how much fabric I needed to cover all that puffiness. I then tried my hand at iron on vinyl, I believe I am going to like it. Now juice spills, sticky sucker, snotty noses, etc, etc can be wiped off.
So there you have it folks and easy chair redo, now if I can find my scrapbook desk under all the piles of "craft stuff", I will try out new chair. I am joining Chari at the Chari Tree for Finished Object Friday, go on over and see the chair she finished this week.

Looks great, Melissa! And now you've got me wanting to try some of that iron on vinyl! Wish I'd known about that a long time ago ;)
