Dining Room Chair Recover

My parents (mainly my dad) asked me to recover their dining room chairs recently.  He actually asked me to do these back in the spring, but by the time I had one of the chairs to start on I found out I was pregnant.  Four months later, I finally started working on the first chair.  I'm now on the second chair.

I first had to take the old cover off and take out all of the ancient "padding" that had probably been there for decades.  After cleaning the chair extensively, I added new chair padding and new fabric.

Only four more chairs to go.....

Starting the boards up again this week.  This time with more accuracy.  I'm 23 weeks (again) this week and I feel like a "stuffed turkey."  Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!
