Learning to Reupholster






A few months after I found out I was pregnant I saw a chevron rocking chair on pintrest. I thought it was so cute and decided I wanted one for my baby's nursery. I bought this chair at the thrift store for $12. I have never reupholstered anything in my life. I took the original fabric off and used it as a pattern for the chevron fabric. This project ended up taking a very long time. It was a lot of work to pull out all the staples and tear it all apart. It was worth the work though. I LOVE the final product! I also made the crib bumper to match. I have learned a lot about sewing the last few months with all my baby projects. Thank you to my sweet Grandma and Great Grandma for the sewing lessons in high school.
