A Chair is Resurrected from the Curb

A few months back Bunny and Kitty were running an errand when they happened upon a curbside chair.

A quick conversation with the homeowner/chair-owner, and a rickety chair belonged to Kitty.


After a little minor surgery by Mr. Seasoned Homemaker, the chair was looking great.


However, it needed a cushion and this presented a problem.  No one had a clue about how to make a cushion for this chair.


Then it hit me, what about making an envelope pillow-like cushion.  

While far from perfect, it fit the project perfectly, since economy was the first priority.


This was so easy and economical - around $25.  Kitty purchased a couple of half-priced 24" x 24" pillow forms and with some stash fabric, a chair is born again.
