Case in point: this pillow.
I haven't been able to find just the right fabric for pillows for our house which was really annoying me because, seriously, how hard should that be? So I found some fantastic modern looking fabric in all the right colors.
And this weekend I washed it, ironed it, cut it, sewed it, and stuffed it. It's like a miracle!
Then, I was so overwhelmed with my new found skill that I hemmed these curtains that I had planned to create using that iron-on hemming stuff. And I made it fancy by adding this nifty coordinating fabric at the top. Yes, it's kind of girly. But it's our office/storage room/someday to be a nursery if we live here that long room.**
*My sister pointed out that I make jewelry, which she considers crafty. I consider it to be more fabrication, more art. But I suppose it's not worth quibbling over.
**Ignore the hideousness that is the rest of the room. I'm cleaning it tomorrow because we have plans to paint it all this weekend before my in-law's visit mid-March.

Love, love, love the pillow and the curtains! I'm pretty sure you are one of the most crafty people I know! Where did you find your fabric? I want to make some for our house when we get home this fall!
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric you used, especially for the curtain with that blue at the top.
ReplyDeleteNice! Good job.
ReplyDeleteI am impressed!! You'll have to teach me to sew one of these days as I've blocked out Mrs. Weber's home ec class!
