Okay, so I have recently become obsessed with sewing. When I say obsessed, I mean everything I see, I think "can I make that?" and may or may not attempt to do so. It is AMAZING what you can do when you put your mind to it! I have wanted to add color to our living room forever by curatins or something and I have always disliked my toss pillows, so I decided to make valances (the fabric I liked and that matches is a very busy fabris and thought it would be overwhelming as full curtains) and matching pillow covers. It is difficult because I have burgundy/red furniture and sorta light moss colored walls so not much matches well. My husband is not a huge fan of the fabric I picked out because it is flowers, and it is colorful. BUT, I LOVE it! And, even though it was a lot of sweat equity involved, the total price of making the valances and pillow covers was somewhere around $25-ish. SO, they can be changed and I will have not lost much in terms of money. Anyway, just thought I would share the finished products. Please note that the wooden shelves hanging above the TV aren't there to stay-we got a new TV and moved furniture around and haven't moved those yet. I think what I will be hanging above the TV is a collage of family pics. Anyone want to put an over/under on how long that will take?
Our Home Ec teacher would be proud! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric, Jade! Yeah, Craig would never let me put flowers anywhere, I'm sure. But it is so cute! Good for you!
