heres the old. three and a half years ago shortly before The Boy was born i was working at Pier 1 and i tied a wicker sales contest with 2 other ladies (one of which is now my good friend Marci, love ya lady!) and they both bowed out of the contest so i could win this rocker for my baby's room i selected the leafy chair pad to match the jungle baby theme. after i stopped rocking day and night my old kitty, rest his little kitty soul, took posession of the chair. consequently the cushion took a little bit of a beating and was in need of a makeover. same for the ottoman which had not been recovered in YEARS.
heres the "new". i was so pumped about this fabric! its reversable, and it cost me a whopping five bucks! it was a clearance curtain panel at big lots. raise your hand if you love big lots! and the bonus... i have enough to make a pillow for the sofa!!!
and this time, its a slipcover on the chair pad.this is post #90 for all you in giveaway anticipation land.=)

How great it is to have such talented daughter-in-laws! Ken and Hal are so very lucky!
I love it. It is always nice to give something "old" new life.
Beautiful fabric! I love what you did! I've never been to a Big Lots - perhaps I will have to check it out.
if money gets really tight you could take in sewing.
You did a great job on those rehabs!!!! I love the wicker rocker...if it ever needs a new home I know where it can go! ;)
A giveaway eh? I'm listening...
