I saw these plans on Ana-White.com for some deck/beach/camping/whatever chairs for kids. I told Jon our boys needed a set and he agreed. We went shopping for fabric and found some super cute stuff that was even 50% off!! We had enough fabric out of one yard (of each color/print) to make 3 chairs. Saturday I sewed the slings while Jon built the frames. Sean actually helped me with sewing up the edges of one sling. He really wanted to work the pedal of the sewing machine. Driving practice perhaps?
Jon put one together and brought it to the kids to try out. Matthew climbed up and leaned back with a big grin. Then Sean took a turn and announced that "it's really comforty." Jon still had to stain them before I could post pictures.
Aren't they precious? Don't you want a set for your family too? They ran about $12 per chair. I made 3 slings in about 2 hours (with a few distractions like thread breaking and getting snacks for the kids) and Jon took a bit longer building (again with distractions....) but they were all done in a day. The longest part was waiting for the stain to dry.

Reminds me of the deck chairs all over the British beaches! Now you need a Mumma and Daddy size chairs! Well done!! So clever!
I love it..."Here Matthew. This goes like that." Adorable. The chairs are totally impressive and they do look mighty professional with that dark stain. :)
