I am so happy I found this tutorial!! Totally looks doable!! My back cushion has the little circles pressed into- I don't even know the proper term for this. Do you have any ideas on how to use the same idea to cover that type of cushion on the back? It's also curved across the top of the back instead of a straight line. Maybe I could just take out those little circles? I imagine their just for decor. As for the curved back- I imagine I'll just have to fold, pleat, and re-iron as you did for the armrests. Did you cut holes for the original ties to tie the back on the chair? THANK YOU!!! Excited to try this!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02517192061403996775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6688040864333524063.post-79337221922595875952016-04-16T16:20:48.042-06:002016-04-16T16:20:48.042-06:00Just covered a nursery glider for my daughter in l...Just covered a nursery glider for my daughter in law - came out great!

I wish I was a seamstress but I have to cheat. :) I would agree that heat and bond hem tape is more of a 1-3 yr deal depending on how much time you spend on the seat.
