And a finish.

Seven Japanese indigo cotton chair covers - totally cat fur magnets, but the fur just brushes off easily.

Machine quilted top with a simply cotton batting and calico back. The rest was hand sewn and the seams overlocked for reinforcement. The edge from side to back was also reinforced with black cotton twill tape. This project ate four spools of Gutermann denim thread. The loops at the back of the chairs are a cotton rope, toggles are separate so the wood doesn’t go through the washing machine.

The original Ikea chair covers are wonderfully washable, but you have to unscrew the seats to get them off. As the elderly Cookie now eats (messily) from hands, oft on these chair, we needed something much more easily washed, and swapped out when guests are here. I wanted it to be very steam iron-able too, for that extra level of sanitising.

I'm calling these my RV socks since the first one was mostly knit in the RV. Honestly I thought I'd finish a pair of socks on the trip but I spent more time playing games with my kid and that's good too. ❤️

Yarn is from Mudpunch, I think this was "Gathering of Curiosities" but I'm too lazy to leave my coffee and find the ball band right now. I hadn't tried to make them match perfectly but it worked out that way!

Wrapped up The Graveyard Yew from Noctiflora Designs - this is an older pattern from a themed box - but it captures the winter vibe really well.
