It Just Takes a Little Motivation

I have the will for two slipcovered wingback chairs, I just needed some motivation.

These wingback chairs were given to us by my mom and dad. They are in perfect condition except for the 90's print!! YIKES. For my birthday my mom and dad got me 16yds of fabric from fabric.com. It was a steal of a deal. However, that was almost 6 months ago and it has taken me that long to work up the nerve to start this project.

Now with a little motivation (my grandmother coming to town and a party at my house) I have begun the transformation!! Here is one cushion that is totally complete...


AND it fits the chair perfectly...


I am now in the beginning stages of laying out my material. It already looks 1000xs better.


With one cushion complete that looks GREAT, I am pumped to keep going. When I finish these chairs it truly will be one of the greatest sewing accomplishments I have ever completed. Oh, I am so excited to get to that point!!

What is one of your greatest sewing/craft accomplishments?? Did you need a little motivation to complete it??

AMAZING!!! Seriously. I am so impressed with the chair cushion. I have two chairs and a couch I want to recover that are very similar to those, but I am WAY too intimidated. Did you just make up your own pattern for the cushion?? Love what it is looking like so far. Go you!
