Before: We've dubbed this chair "ugly chair." Even M. asks if I'm working on the ugly chair.
After: $30 worth of navy twill and leftover white piping that I made for my last slipcover
Still, though, despite the difficulties - I'm really pleased. It looks pretty cool - it's no longer the ugly chair. The piping is awesome.
It's going to go in G's room - he was so happy I was working on something for him. When I first brought the chair home and told him that it was for his room, but I was going to change it so it wasn't so ugly, he said "I love it and I kind of like ugly." Oh, sweet boy. It's massive for a little boy - but that's how I like it!

Oh my gosh, this is everything a chair in a little boy's room should be! The piping is perfect. And I'm all about covering up little imperfections with pillows!
I think it looks wonderful. I can't even begin to tackle a slipcover. It just boggles my brain. You did a fabulous job. Hugs, Marty
Oh looks incredible what a great idea!
Happy Wednesday doll!
Luvs!
The piping is so great. I love the contrast. You are so talented!
how cute is he? telling you he loves the ugly chair. wings are tricky, but it looks great! love the navy twill. pillows/throws cover a multitude of sins!
Great job! Love the fabric and piping, and the fact that it will go in your little guys room.
I have a wing back we got from the neighbors trash and it desperately needs help but I haven't been brave yet!
One idea I've heard for the looseness in the cracks, push dowels down into the cracks and it will pull the fabric tight. Might help you like those spots better!
I think you did a great job. The piping really makes it pop and gives it that added "look at me" command.
How sweet of your li'l one...lol, he kinda likes ugly. Gotta love the littles. They speak from the heart.
