It’s finished! I finished it last week 
I’ve been hanging out to get this post up to share it with you all.
I had SUCH hard time finding the right fabric for the cushion. I knew exactly what I wanted but no matter how gorgeous the choices of fabric were, I couldn’t find it! I went to every store in Invercargill that sold fabric. I found a few stores online that I also liked but didn’t want to buy anything without seeing the fabric in person first. I eventually found the exact pattern I was looking for…on a small tablecloth…that cost $45. So yeah, that didn’t happen. Instead I spent days inspecting the 5 fabrics that were almost right. The right colours, wrong pattern; the right pattern, wrong type of fabric; the right fabric, wrong colours…
The one I went with surprised me but it works well. I was headed to the counter with another roll under my arm when I headed back and switched. I’m glad I did, I like what I got. It stuck to the black and white theme I was after and it was definitely the right choice for the chair from what there was to select from.
I did just want to say a big thank you to the person that suggested I look in H & J Smith. Their fabric selection is stunning! I didn’t find what I was after there, this time, but I had no idea they stocked fabric. I will be heading back when another project needs it. This particular pattern was purchased from spotlight.

Motivation to make a mountain of sexy chairs is at a hundred right now, it looks great.
It looks fab!! Yellow is my favourite colour – love it.
Well done, the chair looks fantastic and I love the fabric you chose it’s just perfect.
Oh wow!!! I love it! It looks great! Good job. Oh and I forgot to say I loved your painting you did on your birthday. That was amazing.
Awesome as usual Chavah! You are an inspiration, I enjoy your posts.
ooh that’s pretty! Great job
Wow-wee girl!! Loving the chair. GREAT choice of fabric – the soft curves of the flower petals really bring out the soft curves of the chair frame.
Fab…..I want it!!!
What a transformation, original chair was very bland.
very trendy
Exquisite, cheerful and oh, so elegant too, love it! You are so, so clever! My Sophie’s absolute fav colour is yellow.
wow thats gorgeous!
Wow, thank you everyone! I have more projects lined up. I would have started today but a drastic lack of sleep because of a fussy baby means the next thing will be waiting a day or two. Thanks for your lovely comments. It will be for sale, if only everyone lived closer!
That is awesome and I am pinching your idea – one day when I get around to doing something as cool as that – Cheers, Wendy
I wished you lived closer, otherwise I would soooo buy this!! Are you going to list it on TM???
Yeah Lisa
I’m trying to make up a set to sell together and I’ll be putting it up on there. I wish I lived closer to you. The shipping would probably cost more than the chair from here.
I finally discovered a web page that i love. Great keep it up Let me subscribe these days and come back before long. I as well have a site but it’s more to do with Christmas.
Browsing the web, I found this website. I am searching for some ideas for a template for my own place. I like your template, did you buy or change this layout? I got a website as well and my template looks kinda sorry so visitors don’t stay on my blog very long.
