The pattern for this little chair is called Grandmother's Secret Chair. A forum friend shared her pattern several years ago, and I made one for Iris at that time. This one is for Julia for her 4th birthday. It's the largest of three sizes on the pattern. I had made Iris the middle sized one. The picture next to a tissue box shows the actual size. It has a pull tab at the back of the seat cushion which opens a secret compartment perfect for a little girl to hide her treasures.
The pattern is available in a vintage book: "Scrap Saver's Christmas Stitchery".

This is the one I made for Iris in 2017. |
Cute little chairs! Grandma use to make pin cushion chairs out of tuna cans.
ReplyDeleteI've seen these used as pincushions, too using the space under the seat for a spool of thread, needles, etc.
