There they were, two vintage lil garden chairs. One was perfect, the other missing a slat on the back. We had options to repair, but I was in the mood to sew. :~)
I stitched simple burlap to fit the chair backs, and then hand-painted "No. 5" in black.
What do you think?

Fantastic job Laurieanna....and super clever...I wish I was a whiz with the sewing machine..am learning though..lol x
I love it, love it, how cute is that. I am so going to try the painting part.
I was so happy to hear from you, thanks so much for visiting me all the way to Australia (if only it was that quick and simple). I LOVE your blog and will add as one of my favourites so i can keep up with all your fabulous projects and news. Mel xxx

Oh I love them. Did you free hand and was it fabric paint that you used? I think they are awesome.

I think they're charming as can be! I have the similar chairs in my kitchen and am going to try to do this - I love how yours turned out. Can't wait to see the porch ~
I just love your style and enjoyed reading through all your posts - so much inspiration!

These are adorable and simple, which I LOVE.
I just love that look! A great idea for an imperfect chair! I want to do this to my barstools. Do you use a stencil?
Thanks for sharing.

Very pretty, Laurie Anna! And here I was ready to ask where you found the stencil or transfer and you painted it!
This is a really beautiful project. Did you free-hand or use a stencil? I've seen a few projects like this and wondered where to find stencils that beautiful.
I just love your blog.

They look fantastic,what a great
idea. I love your ideas,you are
very talented. What kind of paint,
just fabric paint and did you use
a stencil or just free hand it.
They look great.:O)
Jjust what those chairs needed. Great job!
I love this! Where did you find a stencil like that, I've been looking and haven't found anything like it.
I think they look amazing!
Great job!
One thing I don't do is sew. I can make crowns all day long, but sewing is another story.
Thanks for sharing,

So, you sew to? You are so talented and I love these!
That is to cute! Super idea!~ Happy Spring and enjoy that patio.
Love these!! And you will not believe me but I love the number 5 always have. When I read your earlier post about 5 being your favourite number I was dumbstruck...it is so weird to come across people who have these same interests...who would think someone else out there is into numbers?
Have a great week
