Kiddie Chair Recovered

While my friend was out of town this summer, her hubby asked me to reupholster a children's rocking chair as a surprise.  It was one they had had for a  long time that needed a little refreshing.

When tackling a project like this, I always take tons of pictures while taking it a part.  That way, later, when I am not sure what piece was stapled where, I can go back to the photos and figure it out. 

Deconstructing furniture is my least favorite part.  It also takes the longest.

Once it is all taken a part and labeled,  I use the old pieces as a pattern for the new.  Then the reconstruction... some sewing, lots of stapling, a bit of hammering and ....

It is pretty again!
