The Rocking Chair

So, here's the rocking chair, before. I've been feeling motivated to do some reupholstering of a rocking chair in our home. It's not actually ours, but at least I'll be returning it (not for a long time I hope) better than when it was given to us. It's taken probably 2 weeks, maybe less total. I'm so very proud that I was able to do this, it's amazing.

Here's the back. The material is a bit outdated, and the bottom cushion had a hole in the front, that's mainly why I decided to do this. The paint is white, and a bit chipped.

Now here's the back after it's all done. I'm sad you can't tell, but the paint is now "almond" and no longer chipped (and painted to Travis' perfection). I also made the ties at the top & bottom. The color of the cushion is a beautiful checkered green.

And here's the front with buttons to hold the material to the cushion. I think I may still add two more buttons on the bottom, it looks a little loose to me. I also haven't actually sewed the top cushion closed on the bottom, so I'm not quite finished.
I also put in a zipper on the bottom so that I can easily clean the cover. Yay!!

No more chipped paint, and the almond is nice & warm, compared to the white. Although you can't really tell, sorry.

Hope you all enjoy. And I like to thank Tiff, Travis, and my friend Nikiesha for your help, support & advice. :)
