Originally designed for Reloved in 2017.

Upcycle an old tub chair with this cover made with a patchwork rainbow of stitch patterns.

DMC Petra No.3, three of each in - orange 5608, yellow 5742, green 5905, pale blue 5418, blue 5798, two of each in - red 5321, violet 53837.

The colours are changed for each block and used randomly to create a patchwork effect. Some blocks use two colours. In general, the colours were kept in rainbow order working from red to violet and back to red which is why only two each of red and violet were used.

The used tub chair came from a charity shop and had no labels. It is a standard size, measuring 70cm across the front at the bottom and 67cm down the back from the centre top.

The cover is designed to be a tight fit so that it does not sag with use.
