Have you ever had a chair cushion you wanted to recover? Upholstery material can be costly, especially linen. This little girl's dress had a stain on the front of it but the rest of the dress was in really good shape but it was being added to the throwaway pile. It just happened to be white linen and it had a ruffle on the bottom of it. So out comes the thrifty in me and I decided maybe it would work for a chair cushion recover. Well it was enough material and the ruffle was just the right amount to use around the edge of the cushion.The only tools I used were a staple gun, a needle and some white thread to sew the ruffle on the edge of the cushion. Here are the pictures of the cushion before and after the recover.
It's a lot more girly looking now. This is a true thrifty... cost... zero. So never forget you can repurpose, reuse and redo so many things. While this was a little girl's stained dress originally it has become somewhat of a shabby chic item now. Keep your thrifty eyes open for good material which can be reused for another purpose like a cute cafe valance, a table runner, or one large place mat for center of the your table, maybe even a chair cushion or a new cover for an old toss pillow.
You all be thrifty today!
