It was screaming out for some vibrant fabric. I decided to tackle the upholstery for Sarah's chair using some Thomas Paul "hedge" fabric. I am fairly amateur in my upholstery skills and tools. I use a regular sewing machine, hot glue, and a hand held craft staple gun. For clients, I prefer to leave upholstery jobs to the professionals, but for my little sister, I did this pro bono project myself. The finished chair has a few minor wrinkles and mis-cut pieces that I hid with glued on fabric patches, but overall I'm really pleased with how it turned out.

My sister Sarah got this cute high back wing back chair for her apartment at a consignment shop.

LOVE it!
It looks great! I would delete the comments about the rigged parts.
Dang!! That's a good job, Paw Paw!
awesome job, and agree with others, if you never said you had to patch, you'd never know - I read that and can't find any boo boos anywhere. What a skill to have as far as saving money!
