and for my next project...

I bought this old deck chair last autumn for £9, I thought it would be lovely to take to the beach or use in the garden. It's very tatty so I am going to revamp it.

I think I will paint the frame a chalky vintage white and maybe distress it a bit. I'll replace the fabric with something from Cath Kidston, I'm not sure if I should use a small pattern like one of these:

 

or a large pattern like this:

or something stripey

What do you think?

Of course, when it is finished I shall need this to wear when I sit on it

Oooooh love the idea ... I love the bold larger flowers!!!

For what it's worth, I vote for the large floral pattern or the stripey. The others would show dirt too easily. (Not that you would get it dirty, of course, just from lugging it around, etc.)

They have lovely deck chair fabric at RE, you need to come up & get some :)

I love all the fabric but think a deckchair should be stripey so would go for the stripes. Love the hat too a definate must.

Jane, I think you should go for the large pattern.
