Even so, this project is pretty awesome and I want to brag about my mom's skills a bit.
To start, here's a chair my parents bought for me when I was a toddler:
Hey, no giggling at my middle name!
Last summer my mom decided to give the chair a little makeover so that Lauren could use it.
It took lots of sanding, lots of stain, lots of varnish, my mom's awesome sewing skills, and a little help from her fancy embroidery sewing machine. (I did contribute by picking out the fabric and stain color!)
Doesn't it look great? Totally modernized and re-personalized.
This is Lauren testing out her chair for the first time last summer. She was so happy to have a chair her size!
Thanks for all your hard work mom!
I'm linking up to Amylouwho's Sew & Tell Friday, so hop on over and check out the other finishes too!
Have a great weekend!

that is super cute! My Brittney had one like that when she was little, but it wasn't near as sweet.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! It must bring back nice memories for you too. My baby had the same outfit last summer!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! That is adorable! Great job in selecting the fabrics as well as the construction. Ya'll make a great team!
ReplyDeleteI like the darker wood color...the dotted fabric with Lauren's name on it, really gives the chair undated look.
ReplyDeleteTell your mom she did a SUPER job!
That is so adorable--the chair and Lauren!
ReplyDeleteso cute. I love the way the brown and aqua go together! Have I mentioned that I love your daughters name hee hee!
ReplyDeleteOh that is great! What a transformation! And it looks like Lauren is loving it too.
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE it, it is SO adorable!!!! I don't know if I've ever known your middle name, I mean I always knew your maiden name, but put that with Agnes and yikes! Jason did you a favor in marriage on that one! I definitely can't think of you as an Agnes!!!! Speaking of middle names, what is Lauren's... I've never asked.
ReplyDeletehow cute! what a great makeover.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely do not think it is cheating to brag about your mom (I may have to do that one day). The chair makeover turned out beautifully! Kudos to your mom. It's very apparent that Lauren is so pleased. What a cutie!
