Iron glider

This is where I started a few days ago.
Not much to work with!

After measuring the glider from the front to the back, I cut the canvas and draped it on the glider.  Wow, it already looks better!

 From there I cut and pieced together the arms. This simple slipcover consists of only five pieces. The front and back is one piece and each arm is made from two pieces of fabric (inside arm and outside arm).

I added a seat cushion using several odd pieces of 3 inch foam left over from a previous project.  The foam was wrapped in batting for a soft feel. The simple rolled cushion has a zipper so that it can laundered.  A couple of standard bed pillows are perfect as the backrest. These pillow covers also have a zipper so the entire slipcover can be laundered.  Remember, I have two grandsons and two dogs. Everything must be kid friendly, dog friendly and machine washable.

Much better...on to the next project!
