I decided that I really didn't like how my orange computer chair looked in my apartment. My sister, Barb had made a cover for it that was green and blue. It would have looked good elsewhere, but I just wasn't crazy about how it went with my sofa. I had bought a remnant of a home dec fabric that I really liked. It's red white and blue daisies in a diamond pattern. I didn't realize how tiny the remnant was when I bought it. It wasn't going to cover the whole chair. How sad. 
Well, I decided that I still wanted to use it, so I opted for a racing stripe over a base of stretch denim.I made a basic pillow case for the back of the chair. It didn't quite fit, so I turned it inside out and put it on again. I pinned the heck out of it and sewed it again. Ahh. That's much better. I put the stripe on after I had the shape down. I strung some twine through the hem on the bottom and pulled it tight.
The seat cover is basically just a big circle. I cut a rectangle and rounded the corners. I folded under the edge, then folded it under again, to hide the ragged edges. Once I stitched down my hem, I put the stripe on again, folding under the edges and stitching it on. Again I threaded some twine through my hem by tying it onto a large paper clip and sliding it through. I put it on the seat and pulled it taut. I absolutely love how it looks next to my sofa!
What do you think?
