This is part 3 of a series. Read part 1 and part 2.

I wish I could take the credit for picking such a gorgeous fabric. But my client Kristen brought it to me along with this Queen Anne-style chair that I've been remaking. She had a vision.

Here is a sneak peek of the distressing. I know I left you hanging last week.

When I cut the fabric, I line it up to the original piece and leave about three inches all around.

Now I am waiting for my Curve Ease upholstery tool to arrive so I can finish up the back (hurry up UPS man). Once the back is on, all she needs is a little double-welt trim. She is gonna look great!

What do you think? Like the fabric?

I know I didn't show you the finished front. I'm going to leave you hanging again.
