I started this project for my boss who was retiring in January. I started it before he retired but kept having to put it aside due to other priorities. He wasn't coming back from his trip to Australia any time soon so I thought I was good to go . . . nope, wrong, I had issues . . . with the project not me personally . . . LOL . . .
I wanted this to be special. I'd previously sold him a couple of lounge type chairs for his upstairs balcony so I knew I wanted it to be orange and turquoise. And I knew I wanted it to have some contrast. In the meantime, I also needed to buy a new sewing machine so that set me back a bit too (computers these days)!
Long story short - I made the covering (piping and all) and I made it too small (there goes that math thing again) so I had to have my brother cut the base down by an entire inch all the way around. Finally got it all stapled on and then realized I didn't like the underside so had to go out YET AGAIN and get something "appropriate". He loves crosses so that's what he got.

| Classic fabric for underneath |

Last minute addition - but so glad I did it!
