New Life to Old Patio Set

My mother-in-love purchased this patio set years ago. Once the set began to show wear, she had it recovered by a professional. Several years ago she gave the set to my husband. We have been together for 4 years and it was time once again to replace the fabric. However, I wanted something bright and fun to compliment our other deck furniture and house.
This is the set before it was recovered. Please excuse the mess; we are rebuilding our deck.
I found this lovely fabric online at fabics.com at an amazing price. I actually purchased way too much so now I have enough left to make an outdoor tablecloth for another small table on a separate smaller patio.
Here is the first chair we recovered. As you can see, the blue fabric was very dirty and stained. We took each chair apart and used the old fabric as a pattern, cut out and sewed together with a heavy-duty outdoor thread.
Here is the finished product. I hope they last as long as the last set. I do not look forward to doing this again. Again, still working on the deck so it is a bit disheveled.
Now we are ready for some fall temperatures!
