Bridal Shower Chair How To

It was my moms idea actually. She wanted a special chair for the occasion so I created a Bridal Shower Chair slipcover.



Complete with a floral back...



and a lovely bow!

You'll need
Approx 2 yards of white cotton fabric (I used 36" muslin because I need the length not width)
And at least 3 yards of tulle. I think it would be better with 6 yards so you could so 2 layers or use something thicker than tulle.

I did this with frugality in mind. The final price was only $5!








Here are my rough measurements.
I was only measuring the padded part of the chair. This is how I pieces my chair:
Starting at the top of the font all the way down to the edge of the bottom. Meaning the entire front piece of the chair was one big piece: 20"x41"
Back width and length: 20"x20"
Vertical Side-over the top-down the other side: 3"x56"
Horizontal side-back of chair-other size: 3"x56.

I added 2" for seam allows and measure large so I'd have plenty of wiggle room.

Cut out all your pieces. If your planning on doing a floral background I'd do so before you continue sewing. I wasn't planning on adding roses so I did it after I finished it over, it was much hard to sew that way! I used extra scraps I had for the bow and for the rose background.



Here I've laid out my main front piece and started pining it tot he top/side piece. Once it was Pined I sew it into place. Next I did added the back, and finally moved onto the back/side/bottom piece.

Once they were all sewed into place I cute my tulle into three piece, sewed them together and trimmed it. Added a gather stitch a, pined it into place and sewed it down.



It was a rather easy and quick project! I think it took me, maybe, 2 hours.



As you can see it was windy outside.

Bridal Shower Frame

This was a really fun, and somewhat simple project to make! For the bridal shower I wanted to go with a love bird theme, but my parents wanted something more Christ centered and applicable to marriage! So we went with 1 Corinthian "Love is..."



I began by taking 4 8.5x11 pieces of blue dotted paper and gluing them onto a piece of paper the same size as my frame. I made this way to complicated. Originally I printed the words onto transfer paper and tried to iron it on. Well that didn't work. It wouldn't really stick. So I just printed it onto another 4 pieces of 8.5x11 paper and cut to size.



My original plan was to leave it as that and just add a heart, instead I ended up using some turquoise paper I had on hand and adding a border of about 1/4" thick all the way around.



Finally I added my heart.





Unfortunately I forgot to get a picture of it in the frame! Woops. Hopefully you get the idea. :)

Birdal Shower Turquoise and Black

My church recently had there first wedding/bridal shower. So I got to plan out a bridal shower for the first time! Well not exactly everything, just the decorations. Its was so much fun! And while the ladies we're having a bridal shower the guys threw a tool party.

Here are some pictures of the occasion.

You can see my terrible painting here. My mom found these at Hobby Lobby, and they had a red edge so I painted over them. I meant to fix them somehow, but of course that never happened.

The mustaches and crowns were used these for a shower game!

Fabric flowers bouquets!

The Shower Chair! I'll share how I made this easy slip cover later this week!
