This idea of covering up an armchair with a grain sack has been gnawing my mind for a while now. My husband and I have this old and green chair. We bought it a long time ago. It was found by an accident from a vintage store. But I guess it was one of those things you knew it right away that you have to have it. It's from the 40's. I like the shape of it, but the color, green, doesn't startle me anymore.
The idea of using a grain sack as a cover has been in my mind for a long time. I found some grain sacks from the flea market about a year ago. From those I made two pillows.
It's hard to find soft and linen like grain sacks around here. It's easier to find jute like grain sacks. Jute is a bit hard fabric to use in a chair and you always get some fuzz from it to your clothes.
Here is some pictures that I picked up from Google when I was browsing around looking for ideas and things that have been made from a grain sack.
I have to search even harder, so I have a chance to bump into some grain sacks. I was reading all the beautiful blogs you all have and I was so lucky to find
Gracie's beautiful blog and her awesome Great American Grain Sack Giveaway. I hope you all check it out. Maybe you get lucky and get this.
Well I wish you all a great weekend!
Tomorrow me and my husband have a baptism to our godson. Excting!!!

THANK YOU for your LOVELY comment the other day....It makes me SMILE OUT LOUD to know that I've connected with like minded people around the world....!!!
These grain sack pics are TO DIE FOR....I bought a couple while I was in the US recently....Even though they've faded somewhat they're actually quite colourful compared to the neutral ones you've shown here & they're soooooo SOFT....NOT fuzzy like the jute ones you wrote about....yeckkkkk....
I would LOVE to see pics of your chair when you get around to recovering it....Don't forget to show us what you end up doing....!!
Well sweetheart I must fly....Take care & have a GORGEOUS weekend....!!
