Valence d'Agen

summertime snaps from the south of France 

deck chair re vamp.

So as the sun shine daily here in the South of France, I decided to bring the old deck chairs back to life with brand new rainbow stripes to sit in the garden! Heres how I made these very simple covers:

 

1x old deck chair

1 large piece of fabric/canvas that will cover the whole chair. Thick enough to take your weight. (I used a sofa throw)

A good pair of fabric scissors.

The fabric was fitted over the metal frames and pinned down the sides.

I then used the sewing machine to stitch the edges together from the inside, making a smooth finish.

The bottom was measured out, then cut and stitched back on itself to create a pocket for the frames to sit in, forming a very simple cover.

 Tada! Don't they look lovely in the garden.

 Notice I've taken the fabric right down to the seat at the back to create a nice finish.
