These, too, were supposed to be bows, but there is just too much fabric to tie a proper bow. I used 100% cotton homespun, which is probably where I went wrong. Still, no synthetic fabric for this country girl, not even on the dining room chairs.
I also bought enough fabric last year for a tablecloth, to duplicate one I saw at Kitchen Kaboodle. After making two chair covers last year, I ran out of time and stuffed the entire project in to the fabric cupboard.
Out it came this year, and I was on a roll ... for a bit. Then guilt kicked in and I decided I had better things to do. So I stopped at six, but still have fabric and two chairs that need to get acquainted.
Still, the whole project makes me happy, even with the bow fail. And I have a whole year to make the remaining two, plus the tablecloth. Or, at least, 11 months.
I've given myself 'til the weekend to put away everything Christmas. I'm going to miss my Christmas table and chairs.
