Goosey Lucy Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I have finally wrangled Photobucket into submission and would like to show you my before and after photos of my garden swing seat. It was left behind when the previous owners sold us the house and was rather shabby and unloved. Rather than take it to the tip I bought some bright ripstop nylon fabric from my favourite shop in Ramsey and...ta dah! am rather pleased with it. I've also made it so that it can be easily removed so hopefully it won't go all yucky in the wet weather. I hope you like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggasperated Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 That's really lovely. Hope you will find time to use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbug Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Great when you save something from the s"Ooops, word censored!" heap. Looks fab. Clever you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Jane Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Gorgeous! Well done!!! And what is even more impressive is that you appear to have completed the project in the same season, based on the foliage etc in the before and after pics. My current project (well, the biggest of many) is erecting and furnishing a tiny summerhouse - we bought it in the autumn and I only finished painting the outside last month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlottechicken Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Stunning! Reminds me of millefiori, so very appropriate for your garden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goosey Lucy Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 Thank you all for your lovely comments We have had some glorious weather recently and the swing seat has been much enjoyed. In all honesty it took me longer to choose the fabric and plan how I was going to do it than it actually took to make it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvachicken Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 That really is very nice I have a wooden swing seat and it is my most favourite place to sit. I hope we gets lots more lovely weather so you can enjoy it even more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 That is lovely! I have a swing seat in my garden which I adore! Only problem is someone leant on the back and made t rip along the stitching line. I have repaired it once but it has torn again I was just thinking a few days ago about if there was a suitable fabric for it as it is outdoors all the time. Where did you get your from? Some I have seen online don't say anything about using it for seating just for clothing and tents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
