When I was working on this chair (painting it red, adding batting and covering the seat with white fabric) I had a general idea of what I would do with the seat in mind. I was thinking of some kind of striped embroidery of sorts. (See before picture in my portfolio
here)
So I started laying out which colors of embroidery floss I wanted to use. I've been experimenting with almost monochromatic schemes in my daily wardrobe and decided to try pinks with a pop of yellow.
I was planning on using the left line as a guide to sew next to, but ended up liking the effect if just the floss over the fabric. So I started adding more lines.
I tied the string on the back of the chair...
Trimmed the ends so they wouldn't hang down, and taped the floss so it would stay in place as I screwed the seat cushion back into the chair frame.
And tadaa!
A subtle accent to make this chair a bit more interesting. Yeah for a free garage sale find from my mom!
