Wingback Chair Slipcover

I loved everything about this fabric, the look, hand and how it stood up to the rigors of sewing.



   Here is the Before shot.

 

Earlier this year I started a new arm of my sewing business called Fabric Sewlutions.  Since I mainly sell online, I wanted something that was more local.  You can visit my new website here to check it out if you are in the Toronto/Durham area.  I will be linking to My Uncommon Slice of Surburbia and  Miss Mustard Seed's Linky Party

I'll give you the moon and the sky

I have been working on many things some of which I am not ready to announce, so I thought I would share with you what I was viewing at 5:30p.m..

The moon seemed close enough to grab and the sky was so fluffy in other areas.

For my Birthday

I made myself one year younger!  You see, today is my birthday and to be sure of my age I had to use a calculator.  It seems that for the past year, I thought I was a year older than I really am - go figure.

Tomorrow I plan to take off a few more years by dyeing those pesky gray hairs that are getting out of control.

It was a beautiful day and I am blessed for being here.

Not your garden variety envelope

Lately I have been doing a lot of financials and bill paying, which I hate doing.  So what do I do when I don't want to do something?  You guessed it, procrastinate by doing something else.  I told myself that I needed to have something to put all my loose receipts in so that they were contained.  This leather envelope is what I came up with.




While I was at it, I used the opportunity to use up some of my leather scraps and practice some stamping.  The stamping did  not turn out that well, but I got to make something useful from scraps that was taking up space.
I can't wait to do more of these!

New Slipcover for Ottoman

This large padded ottoman was originally upholstered in a light cream fabric that lived through the pen marks of a growing child and claw marks of a curious cat.  It was time to add  new life with a textured elegant fabric that can be easily cleaned when needed --- ENTER the Slipcover!


I will be linking this post over here so go on over to see over fabulous transformations.

Cushion Covers transforms from Winter to Spring

I finished up an order for a client - 9 cushion covers to convert her winter look to her spring look.  These are a few of my favourites.




As a thank you, I made this stacked pillow for her cat.
