I finally finished it today! Just some black spray paint and primer and some Walmart cloth woven across for a seat. Much better.
Another Goodwill shopping trip... I found a skirt for me, but decided that I probably would never wear it. So I modified it to be a dress for Mckenzie. It's not perfect, but definitely wearable and she likes it. I was excited to be able to make something without a pattern or specific tutorial. :)
