The family was in attendance!
Bean and DD along with the current-then, now ex BF.
In the course of the holiday festivities, I had a couple of my favorite lawn chairs need repairs.
So I got out my trusty little awl. I know-how old fashioned! But effective!!
Notice how one side is a lot neater then the other side? Well, one does get better the more one uses the awl!
The other chair was made of different fabric and it had torn, so I needed to replace the fabric
The real trick was figuring out how to keep things in place while manipulating the chair under the sewing machine needle.
It was a wee bit tricky. I propped the chair frame on the ironing board while I got the fabric lined up under the needle. Not the easiest thing to do!
It could be a little less saggy, but I think it will do for now. I think I'll stick with the awl method next time!
