How To: IKEA Poang Chair Re-covered

The children's version of the Poang Chair from IKEA is popular piece, but the natural cotton cover is a bit ho-hum. If you've got some sewing skills, why not re-cover that bland cushion with some fun fabric?

JCaroline gives an awesome tutorial and step-by-step instructions on her blog.

Liking those fabric storage bins in the picture up top? She made those too. We'll post about those tomorrow.

We recovered the adult version of the same chair, for our daughter's room, it was easy. (As easy as paying someone else about $35 to do it.)

(Please forgive the terrible carpet, we're still a work in progress.)

We got the fabric at reprodepot.com. The Poang turned out to be a great rocker, super-cheap and just the right amount of "give" rocking to put the stinker to sleep in those early days.
