Glider Makeover

Only 8 weeks left until we get to meet this little baby! Or more, Liam was a week late, so I am sort of counting on this one taking its time as well. I figure that way when the due date passes by I won't be quite as disappointed as I was last time. Nesting has kicked into full gear now though! I made myself wait until after the holidays were finished until I really got going on baby stuff, and since then I have been keeping pretty busy in the sewing room.

Jake and I have decided to keep the gender a secret so I won't be posting much baby things on here until he or she is born, but there are a few gender neutral things that I have been working on that I can share, one being the glider!

Here is what it looked like before, nice, but a little stained:

And here is what it looks like after two evenings of me sewing:


I am rather obsessed with gray these days, so I decided to do the glider that way. I do like the look of the cable knit, and no I didn't knit at all for this project, my oma tried teaching me many years ago and it was hopeless. I picked up a blanket from Superstore that I used, and the hardest part was working with the knit as it liked to stretch. This chair will be in our master bedroom for a while as that is where the baby will be, so I wanted it to fit in, and I think it does a pretty good job of that.
