This is the chair I came across in December while vintaging. Screams of "I found it" were heard in my head.... I really want to release those screams for all to hear but this was the Christmas shopping season and I was afraid I would have to have my first squabble with a fellow shopper about who saw it first over this sweet chair! So I held them in and with shaking hands I quickly grabbed the tag. I may have bought this chair but it was not for me.... It was a gift to my oldest daughter for Christmas. I hid it at my neighbors house until Christmas Eve...
With all the gifts under the tree that morning I could not wait for my daughter to take the sheet off her chair {I had a white sheet draped over the chair with a big bow}
She loved her chair! I told her that I knew she may not be crazy over the fabric, but that I could have a slipcover made for it.... she told me she was just fine with the chair the way it was....
which made my heart melt because she is so easy going. If I never changed the fabric she would have never complained .... But I knew the fabric clashed with the colors in her room.
I loved the chair before but here it is now....
Slipcovered in my favorite duck cloth fabric.... every time I look at the chair the tiny pleats pull at my heart! I love them!! And the best part is my daughter does too. I walk by her room and take a peek and there she sits in her chair reading or sketching.... Who knows my daughter just may inherit my passion for vintage... time will tell.

I LOVE slipcovers with tiny pleats!! So pretty and sweet :)! What fabric do you specifically use, if you don't mind sharing?? I also LOVE that cute pillow too!
That slipcover is 2DIE4!!! Beautiful!!! My kids are going now through the "I don't want a lot of vintage in my room" phase, but I have faith that some day they will "see the light"!!!!LOL

I love it!
Heather, I only dream that I can make slipcovers.... I have a very talented friend who has a little business over her garage and she sews!! and make the best slipcovers. I like to use duck cloth because you can wash it and put it right back on without ironing... and duck cloth is $5 a yard! deal of a price!
Wow, Lulu - that is pretty incredible. I would totally curl up in that chair and love it forever! So nice :)
Exquisite work with the pleats!
