How To Recover Metal Patio Chairs

Metal patio chairs are a great way to add style and comfort to your outdoor space. However, over time, the cushions can become worn and faded, making your chairs look tired and outdated. If you're looking to give your metal patio chairs a fresh new look, recovering them is a great option. With a little time and effort, you can easily recover your chairs and make them look like new again. ### Materials You Will Need * New outdoor fabric (enough to cover all of your cushions) * Scissors * Sewing machine (or hand-sewing needle and thread) * Measuring tape * Pins * Polyester fiberfill (optional) * Cushion covers (optional) ### Instructions 1.

Measure Your Cushions

To start, you will need to measure your cushions to determine how much fabric you will need. To do this, use a measuring tape to measure the length, width, and height of each cushion. Add 1 inch to each measurement for seam allowances. 2.

Cut the Fabric

Once you have measured your cushions, you can cut the fabric. To do this, lay the fabric out on a flat surface and use a ruler and rotary cutter to cut the fabric to the desired size. Be sure to add 1 inch to each measurement for seam allowances. 3.

Sew the Fabric

If you are using a sewing machine, you can sew the fabric together using a straight stitch. If you are hand-sewing the fabric, you can use a whip stitch or a backstitch. Start by sewing the two long edges of the fabric together, then sew the two short edges together. Leave a 4-inch opening on one of the short edges for stuffing. 4.

Add Polyester Fiberfill (Optional)

If you want your cushions to be extra plush, you can add polyester fiberfill to the inside of the cushions. To do this, simply stuff the fiberfill into the cushion covers until they are full. 5.

Close the Opening

Once you have stuffed the cushions, you can close the opening using a ladder stitch or a slip stitch. Be sure to sew the opening securely so that the stuffing does not come out. 6.

Add Cushion Covers (Optional)

If desired, you can add cushion covers to your recovered cushions. This is a great way to add a pop of color or pattern to your patio chairs. To do this, simply slip the covers over the cushions. ### Conclusion Recovering your metal patio chairs is a relatively easy and inexpensive project that can make a big difference in the look of your outdoor space. With a little time and effort, you can easily give your chairs a fresh new look and enjoy them for years to come.
