I would like to thank all of you for leaving such sweet comments about my dining room tweaking. A few folks inquired about how I made my chair back covers, so I thought I would share with you how I made them.
First, I measured the back of the chair to determine the width and length I needed.
Allowing for a seam allowance, I cut my fabric. In the picture below you can see where I ironed my fabric before sewing because I wanted to make sure when I turned my ends to make a point, it would be even.
Instead of sewing you could very easily use iron on tape but I wanted to try out my new sewing machine.
I sewed three sides and then turned up my ends to make a point. I used iron on tape at the top to secure the point. Then attached the trim. See picture below.
Using my Cricut, storybook cartridge and Heat n’ Bond I made an “F”.
Next, I peeled the Heat n’ Bond paper off the back of the “F”.
Then I placed the “F” on the front of the chair back cover and ironed it on.
There you have it……a Mon0grammed Chair Back Cover.
I hope this all made sense to you. If you have any questions, please email me or leave me a comment.

Such a great tutorial. Love the covers, they look fabulous. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteThis tutorial is simply perfect. I have a chair in my daughters room that is just screaming for *something*. I LOVE your chairs and plan to do a similar treatment for her chair too.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. The tutorial is wonderful. I can even do that! It looks much harder though.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea and I think cricut needs to hire you to demonstrate all of the wonderful ways to utilize their product. You have definitely proven that it's not just a machine for scrapbookers!
ReplyDeleteThe covers turned out fabulous and look wonderful in your "tweaked" dining room.
Have a great day.
