The old "green" Chair slip covered (again)

The slipcover for this chair was made from my kitchen curtains, which where originally fabric to recover my dinning room chairs. So this fabric has really worked hard for me , I got it over a year ago on sale for a dollar a yard at at Home Fabrics.
This chair is a really unusual shape and I hoped that the country french toile-ness of the fabric would help the chair seem more welcoming and soft.
I have made 3 slip covers for this chair and i have not been really happy with any of them. Because the chair does not have a separate seat cushion it is hard to get the slip cover to pull right when its sat upon.
I think the fabric works well on the chair over all.
I used a cut and pin technique when I slip cover. I just looked up miss mustard seeds tutorial on you tube and found it helpful even though I was doing a different style of chair.
I was trying to find a  before picture but I didn't find a one, just trust me I had not taken a picture for a reason.
