...my favorite chair...

...my favorite chair...has been moved to the bedroom...
...and it is once again in need of a little repair...the arms are so worn now that you can see the stuffing...

...eventually...of course the chair will have to be re-upholstered..
...but until then...I'll just cover up the problem and still have a usable chair...
...I used my little U-shaped upholstery needle to stitch some doilies...made by the Man's Grandma...over the worn places...
...it just took a few stitches to tack them in place...and if they need to be removed for cleaning it's just a few snips of the scissors...
...so now my comfy chair is ready for use again...I love to sit and read here...it's also quite handy for putting on my shoes...

~Have a lovely day!

    Amanda Soule did something like this a few years ago. This is the best photo I can find, but I know that she eventually did more. One day, I want to patch a chair up like this too.

    Are the lace pieces crochet or tatting? Just lovely.
