No-Sew Tie-Fleece Blanket

Can't get enough of these tie-fleece blankets this year! 

So far I have made one of each for my girls, one for a friend and now the hubs has requested one too :) Anyone else?! Oh yeah maybe me ;) Haha

They are super easy to do, just a little time consuming! But worth the time :) they are so soft and cozy!  Makes for good multitasking while watching my dvr shows ;)

I used 1.5 yards for the girls with a pattern on one side and solid on the other.

For the adult size I would suggest 2.5-3 yards :)

The I just did a quick YouTube search for the easy step by step instructions (there are a bunch).

Chair Recovery

It has been a long time coming,

Our dining room chairs have needed some serious TLC 

for quite some time!

(I am so embarrassed to even show them)

BEFORE

Result of two toddlers in 4 years!

 I finally made the time stopped procrastinating 

and found the perfect fabric (on sale too ;)

This was so much easier than I imagined 

and the main reason I dragged my feet on getting it done!

Here is the final result of chair #1

(Using the staple gun was so much fun too!)

AFTER

Being my first attempt at recovering chairs,

I am so happy and kinda look forward to getting to do it again!

But not too soon... 

hopefully I get to enjoy these for a little while 

before they end up like what is underneath!!

(Not sure the Scotch Guard can even protect them from my girls ;)

 One for the desk too!

Here is a list of what I used to get the job done,

* 6 Chairs

* 3 yards of fabric cut into 24 x 23 inch pieces 

*screw driver

*staple gun

*Scotch guard

Then I basically used YouTube to get an idea on how to fold the corners,

since that part can be a little tricky!

Hope you have time to give it a try and spice up your dining table!!
