The Amazing Fix For a Dated Office Chair

Have a dated office chair, but don't want to spend the money to have it recovered? How about making a simple grain sack slipcover? This is one of the easiest slipcovers I've ever made, and really a great slipcover project for someone who hasn't made one before.
This slipcover was so easy to make. Here, I'll show you how I did it.
Here's the chair before.
First I slid the grain sack over the back of the chair, sewing the corners of the grainsack so that it adjusts to the curve of the chair.
Than I cut a pattern from brown paper the size of the seat.
I used that pattern I made to cut a piece of fabric for the seat. I made the fabric 1/2 inch wider all the way around for seam allowances.
Then I added a ruffle to the seat.
The last step was to attach these ribbons to tie it to the chair. And now you're done. To see more, check out the link included.
