New life for Granny's rocker. She told me she would sit and sew in this little chair. It's surprisingly comfortable. I'm still getting the handle on painting furniture. This was a base coat and two glossy coats with a bit of sanding in between coats. It's not as smooth and shiny as I'd like and I'm not sure how to get that look but if it requires more coats then that's just not gonna happen. I'm happy enough with outcome.
I used old sheets to weave the seat and since they all had very nice hems about the same width, which I used, I think it will be very strong. I think it's granny chic-y with some fraying and a bow I tied in front using the extra length of the last strip.
Tootles :)
p.s. a word on yesterday's wordless wednesday. that was tuesday's dinner called 'all of england on one bun, oh and yes it was!
