Vintage Chair Before & After

What do you do with any fabric you have left over from a project? Does it go in your fabric stash bin with the intention of using the rest of it someday? Or do you actively seek out a project for it and get to work?

I have to say, Jen of Girl in the Garage did a pretty stellar job of using up her extra fabric recently. She had some Richloom Birdwatcher Meadow fabric left over after making this double sided pillow in the fall.

Then I saw on Instagram yesterday she had used the rest to reupholster this lovely vintage chair. I say, job well done! Not always easy to get back into the stash and utilize what you’ve got.

But I guess a fabric as vibrant as this tends to call one’s name.
