Makeover Monday: 5/16

I had a special request last week for a large chair pad in shades of ivory and peachy pinks.

~*~

These were the final fabric selections; two vintage sheets and a plain ivory cotton.

Here is the finished product; 18 inches across and bursting with ivory pinky peachness!  It will be used for a heavy antique oak desk chair in a recently redecorated office space.  If you look closely you can see my special new touch- the ivory stitching around the edge.  I like the way it balances the colors and lends a very *finished* appearance.

Happy, happy Monday!  I'm way behind on listing new things in both of my shops, so that is my main goal for this week outside of mommyhood and housewifery.  What do you have in store for the next few days?

Rockin' Chair Pad

Clearly, things are too crazy in my neck of the woods...how did I forget Makeover Monday??

Oh well, better late than never, right?

You may remember this Ralph Lauren fabric from the cottage star set I featured a couple of weeks ago.

My most recent rug customer loved that fabric so much that she asked me to make a pad for her rocking chair. The rocking chair is 20" square, so we decided that a 19" round "cushion" would look fabulous.

~*~

I only had enough sheet for 18" (grrrrrr), so I improvised and used a plain faded red chambray for the border. This will be bundled up with the rug and sent off to the UK tomorrow.

Safe travels, my pretties :)
