I finished the t-shirt rug this afternoon. I had three blue t-shirts to round off the end of it. The rug is a little bit bigger than the last one I did, but still small enough to fit in the bathroom or in the hallway.I really, really LOVE the colors in this one, but that's… Continue reading 2nd T-Shirt Rug is Done!

The Other Braided T-Shirt Rug Zig Zag Experiment!
Friends, Remember my 2nd attempt at a little braided t-shirt rug I was working on? Yes...that one. Okay, okay. So I got up to the top of the stairs today and I didn't feel like coming down because it hurts, so I decided to sit at the sewing machine instead and psyche myself up to… Continue reading The Other Braided T-Shirt Rug Zig Zag Experiment!

Couch Update!
The couch project has been on a long hiatus but I actually sat down finally at the sewing machine last night and sewed up the right arm! Here is the right arm of the couch. The only difference from the chair that came up was I had to piece together the inside arm. For some… Continue reading Couch Update!
Uggh…’cough’, ‘cough’
Gosh, I haven't posted anything in 2 weeks! Friends, the wet weather combined with pollen has left my lungs in an upper respiratory funk. I think every spring I get some sort of seasonal induced cough and sneeze. It usually knocks me out for a few days followed by two weeks of getting it out… Continue reading Uggh…’cough’, ‘cough’

Spring Part II
It has been the rainiest April in our area on record. I think it is something like 25 days straight of rain. Usually at this time of year we are able to plant seeds in the garden but because of all the rain we really can't. The seeds would just wash away! Snow even showed… Continue reading Spring Part II
Save the Cat Slipcover Project – Part 10 – The Box Cushion Cover and Reveal!
The final step in this project is the cover that goes over the cushion. This type of cushion is called a BOX cushion. It is called a box because of the three distinct dimensions; length, width and height. This was not difficult to sew at all. I was actually relieved once I got to the… Continue reading Save the Cat Slipcover Project – Part 10 – The Box Cushion Cover and Reveal!
Save the Cat Slipcover – Part 9 – The Skirt
It's on to the skirt! I'm almost there! The skirt to the slipcover was fitted using the skirt pieces I had cut out from the Butterick Pattern. I had to fudge a little but it all worked out. The first thing I did...unfortunately no photo...was to use a ruler and measure UP from the FLOOR… Continue reading Save the Cat Slipcover – Part 9 – The Skirt
Save the Cat Slipcover Project – Part 8 – The Deck!
I thought I'd never get here! But now that I am I have to admit I really have absolutely no idea what to do!!! Ha ha ha! I remember something about leaving little flaps of extra fabric on the back and sides but I can't figure out just exactly how they get attached. I will… Continue reading Save the Cat Slipcover Project – Part 8 – The Deck!
