I first made a seat cushion for my desk chair. I bought this vintage wooden chair from a guy lives in Niagara on the Lake, I love the vintage look but always think it would be nicer by adding a cushion. I finally finished this sewing project and now I can enjoy it everyday. Of course, for such nice thing I always have to fight or share with my cats... they know the good stuff too, you know... =)
