Best Seat in the House

This is one of my favorite spots to sit. I bought this swing a couple of years ago and much to my dismay it has not worn well. 

I live in Wisconsin, so I take it in for the winter so it has only been exposed to the weather for a total of about 8 months, but regardless the seat split down the middle rendering it useless.

I was feeling somewhat handy so I brought it in the house and patched it up. I have a pretty decent sewing machine, but it's not something I would not make a habit of doing. Besides that with the rope and the wood handles -  it was rather awkward to maneuver. I only had one style of outdoor fabric handy...

Look familiar?
