It's been a while since I hauled out my trusty old sewing machine.
Yes, she's old. Only 21 years younger than I. There was a time when I made nearly all my clothes... dresses, skirts, jackets - with shoulder pads, of course. It was the 80's after all...
I made my flower girl's dress when The Husband and I got married, but not much since. I need to remedy that.
Perhaps Sunday was a start: one old table cloth became two cushions covers. And there's fabric left.
These cushions are destined for the bed in the new guest bedroom.
The headboard is still a work in progress but the cushions are notđź¤
Am I getting my groove back? I don't know. But stuff must get done for The Corner. And if I can, I must. That said, I am not unhappy with Sunday's efforts and, perhaps just to get some basic practice, I should make covers for all the cushions for my garden chairs....
Notwithstanding being a little rusty, this was a big baby step.
Until next time
