I know... shameful, but don't you dare throw them out

We can save them before the hole gets bigger, and you fall in

With just a little patience and some outdoor canvas they can be the envy of the backyard again... I promise

  Before they are ready to show off, you will need to disassemble the chairs to remove the seat and back material. Use the old material as your pattern. Allow an inch ( or enough space) for the support brace to fit in your seam. Sew your seam pockets and assemble back on the chairs.

I told you they would be the envy of the backyard, and probably the neighborhood too!

Aren't you glad you won't be falling in as you are chilling out?
I am!
