5/17 Expressions

Frugal project for the week:  Pictured is the ripped upholstery of a chair I paid $5 for about 20 years ago.  The fabrics are from clothes I no longer want.  The fushia jacket is about 15 years old and the lime green shirt is about 8 years old.  The fabrics are nice and can be pieced together to make a new cushion.  I want to save the piping - so, I looked for a seam ripper.  After a half an hour, I gave up.  I will get one at Wal-mart.  I plan to refinish the wood with the same stain we will be using on the kitchen cabinets.  Then, the chair can go with the built-in desk.
