You may remember my post about recovering my husband’s ugly office chair!
It went from really ugly…..to nice…but sort of boring….that’s because I actually listened to what he wanted….”nothing too fancy or wild”….go figure!
The post has the full tutorial if you are interested.
Now… on to MY sewing chair that looked like this!
I looked at the chair and realized that I wouldn’t even have to take it apart.
The construction of the chair is such that all I needed to do was get my trusty screwdriver out and push the fabric in around the frame!
Seriously….that is all there was to it…..stretch, push, stretch, trim push some more!
45 minutes later…..I have a pretty NICE looking chair!
I’m no monkey…..but hey….I think it turned out pretty well!
Now this fabric isn’t really “fancy OR wild”…..but it was soooo simple and quick…..I will keep an eye open for something better and redo it again in a year or so!
I find myself looking at every office chair I see….and wondering about how they could be redone!
Take a look at your own and let me know if you get the inspiration!
Maybe you can even find a trained monkey to do it for you!
How interesting! I'm sitting in THAT chair…without the arms! What a great idea! ♥
That came out so well. Lovely fabric. It even looks more comfortable! Cleverly done!
Ahh man… here you go with a chair redo again. And all I can think is how lame I am to not have done mine yet. Thanks for the kick in the pants to try this (again). And I really adore the fabric you used… it pops!!
It came out great! I was wondering how you got the back and plastic part off…now I might try my hand at my own that I use for sewing…it is that same old blue that you have~! xo Diana
So pretty… I will be looking for chairs that I can recover with the push of a screwdriver now. Love it!!!
Oh wow! What a wonderful difference.

This inspires me to do the same to my ugly office chair I found at a garage sale. So easing, no sewing, that a good project. What does your husband think of the new fabric? If your interested, I am hosting a Sunday's Best party on Sunday. Would be great if you posted.
Wow, I just realized you did post at my first party, you sure do some great work!
Nice work! So simple yet a beautiful change.
Love your chair! My office chair just broke so I'll be looking for a replacement…adding the fabric really makes it look beautiful! Thanks for linking up, hope you stop over this weekend and show another project. Take care!
You did a wonderful, beautiful job on something so basic. I am gonna have to try this on mine! Thanks so much for sharing!
Blessings,
