Late Bloomers

There's a big, fun floral print out these days that seems to be catching on!  I featured it a couple weeks ago HERE, and since then, I've seen it popping up again over and over! I wouldn't know about trendy fabrics, because I live very near Sun City, which, if you don't know, is a senior citizen mecca.  All the fabric stores around here seem to cater to octogenarians, so there's a lot of fabric with pastel quilt designs, and horses, and kittens, and things of that nature.  Which is cool ... uh, in it's own way ... I guess ...

So, I will continue to live vicariously through everyone else and their fabulous fabric choices and upholstery skills.  Like this chair makeover from Missey at RedoPalooza who paid $7 for this ragged chair and had it recovered in the aforementioned big and fun floral print.

 
 

And here it is again!  This time, a stodgy armchair gets florally flaired by Carina, who paid $18 and redid the whole thing herself.  She even sewed new fabric over each of the 27 buttons by hand!  Which, I guess is the only way one could sew new fabric over a button, unless there is some button-recovering foot for the sewing machine that I am unaware of.  What do I know, I'm not a sewist! Check it the whole process on her blog The Adventures of a German Girl.
