This wrought iron dining set has been in our family for years. It has been used inside and outside and traveled amongst many family members.
It has been back in my possession for about the last 15 years. When I got it, it had 10 different fabric layers on the seat cushion.
It once had a glass top, but that was broke somehow over the years and is now wood.
I needed the table for a party and didn’t have the time to recover it so I decided I could slipcover it quicker.
First I removed the cushion and gave them a quick coast of primer, to hide the striped fabric from showing through.
Then made a quick 3 part slip cover from a drop cloth I had on hand, got out my serger and in an hour had them all completed.
Used some leftover fabric from my Bunting Project and tied a decorative strip around the chair.
Threw a clearance tablecloth on and covered up the whole ugly mess.
Quick and easy!!

Dawn, you’re so talented! I love the way you did your chairs and what a great idea for some folding chairs I have for extra guests! Thanks for sharing. Have a nice week. FABBY
That looks amazing Dawn. I love a project that’s quick and easy but packs a great punch.
That looks wonderful! I have two mismatched chairs at my kitchen table – I think I just found the solution for them! Thanks for the inspiration! 🙂
It looks awesome! So cheery! I especially love the big ties on the chairs. 🙂

I popped on over to your blog from a comment on Home and Harmony. I just have to let you know I have the exact same fabrics on our screened in porch! We have the same tablecloth (rectangle – larger table), I covered the cushions of our chairs in dropcloth (only the cushions though) and have the exact same fabric for the lumbar pillows. Amazing…
