My client wanted a new look for this chair that sits in her home office. She wanted something "girly," incorporating pink in the design...
Cute chair! But, the tassels were showing some wear and the fringe trim around the bottom of the chair was disappearing. So, we talked about options and decided to go with dropcloth, with pink ticking trim...
August Blues - Dropcloth with pink ticking trim
The box-pleated skirt keeps it feminine without being over-the-top.

And the tapered shape of the chair made it a natural for a special detail down the back...
August Blues - Back Lacing
I chose to cut the ticking for the piping and lacing on the crosswise grain, instead of on the bias, so it would look less like a candy cane and still take advantage of the stripe.

And a bow at the bottom to finish it off.
