Parson Goes Wild

 Parson Goes Wild

Once upon a time the parson  parson’s bench was ugly,  plain and ordinary with a bit of shine especially in the light.  Why?  Because he and his twin were covered in gold, yes gold, vinyl.  They were sturdy and well made except for the upholstery.

 That all changed when they went wild with animal instincts.  Using upholstery weight cotton velvet, they Metamorphosed into:

 Using only one yard of fabric for each bench, stockings (or sleeves) were made for the legs.  After pulling them on, measuring and cutting the fabric, it was a simple matter of wrapping them like a gift, with pleated corners,  and stapling underneath.

Once they had a new Look

 They were ready to go to a few  Parties.
