The other day I decided to fix the fraying edge on this lovely pink chair that I bought from my neighbor. I purchased some blanket binding and fabric tape at Joannne's. I had scissors in my sewing kit. That's all I needed.
It was an easy fix. I just cut a piece of blanket binding the size of the affected area, and spread the adhesive on the back side of the fabric. I carefully pressed it into place, and smoothed it over with my fingers. It was definitely cheaper than paying someone else to fix it for me.

ReplyDeleteThanks Anita. I love the design of this chair. It has all of these little tacks that are so pretty. My mom taught me that antiques don't have to match-they all go together.
