First to felt the sweater, I placed it in a pillow case & washed it in hot water. Then I hung it to dry. Next I painted the chair black to match the rest of our dinning set. I then removed the wood base from the chair & stapled some left over batting to it.
Then stretching the sweater over the batting I began to staple it on top of the batting.
Once secured, I then cut away the extra fabric.
Next I screwed the seat back on to the chair frame & done!
I needed some extra chairs for my daughters upcoming birthday party & this works perfect! If I don’t need it any more I can always donate it back….looking better then when it left the store the first time :)

Very cute! I love the look of the sweater on the chair. I just recovered our breakfast room chairs, but I just used fabric from the fabric store:)
allergic to wool. scratchin my bottom now...
You have such great ideas for repurposing stuff. Love this one too.
The 'new' chair looks great!
Great idea :)
.99 for a sweater? I would have gone crazy.
That is such an original awesome idea.

I love it. The cabled seat is adorable! I once had a beautiful wool sweater I bought in GENEVA (isn't there an outlet there?) and then when it when out of style I gave it away... I've been kicking myself for that ever since. Think...felted purses! Felted chairs! It annoys me every time. Thanks for this idea!
You're my craft hero! What a great idea. That turned out so well.
Looks great! Love your crafty ideas. :)
What a superb idea!!!
Great looking chair!
That turned out so cute! I would have never thought to use a sweater, but I LOVE the pattern and how it turned out. :)
You are too good!
