Actually I was just really tormenting her but I do think it would be fairly easy. As opposed to stapling the fabric down cut it a few inches longer then wrap it over a stick and screw it downThe way this project is going I doubt if we will ever do it again. One of the chairs the screws that hold the seat down spun out the plywood. Rather than taking it apart for a repair, I used a one inch inside bracket. screwed it to the part that had the screw pocket and down to the bottom of the seat. A quick fix but worked fine. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lee A.

I would be interested Lenny on how you plan to make it easy to chage patterns with seasons, unless of course if was like a throw cover.
