2013.11.23 Project - making new seats for dining room chairs

What I've been up to ...
covering the seats of 4 dining room chairs.

We have multiple tables for eating as well as crafts and projects.
One table seats 6, the other 8.

So, we have 4 pine chairs, 6 oak chairs, and 4 chairs painted green with caned seats.
At least the green chairs used to have caned seats.
Each table has the natural chairs along the sides and two green chairs at the ends.
