Both chairs are finished. The colors aren’t that true and I can’t seem to get the right adjustments to make them more realistic. The yellowish-green is more of a chartreuse green and the blues have more depth.
Rita’s chair: Done! This is now my knitting chair as it sits in the corner.
And here it is in front of the window. iPad Aunt’s chair resides there now.
iPad Aunt’s chair: Done but not happy with the cushion. I didn’t wrap the new foam in Dacron before stuffing it into the cover. It looks too boxy and I need to fix that. Plus the seat cushion looks too big for the chair but it’s not that way in real life.
Both chairs side-by-side. You can see that they are very similar but different. Rita’s chair has a lower part on the bottom front, straight-arm stump, and is a smaller chair. iPad Aunt’s chair is straight across the bottom front, has a curved arm stump, and is a wider chair.
I tried very hard to get the patterns to match up on both chairs but it was very difficult. The pattern was 24 inch vertical repeat so I tried not to waste fabric.
I am in the process of redoing the ottoman that matches Rita’s chair but that is on hold for now. Too many irons in the fire.

I think they look great! I agree that the one cushion looks a little awkward, but that may just be the picture angle. Better than I could do!!
I need to reupholster Ma Deer’s (the Man’s great grandma) rocker. Motivation!

Once the Dacron goes over the foam, the cushion should fill out better. I’ll try to take another picture once I do that. 😉
Send me a picture of Ma Deer’s rocker.

That is one of my favorite paintings! Maybe that’s why I subconsciously chose that fabric.

Strictly unintentional but I see them, too. Funny how a print can change when stepping back a few feet.
