#2 slipcover!

Thanks Jolene for being my first (along with Susan - coming soon!) slipcover customer!  This chair went together beautifully!  Still had a lot of cushion left in it, just needed an update and to cover up a couple holes:)


And what a fun fabric choice!  Giraffe!  


I love how it turned out!  What satisfaction delivering this and slipping it onto the chair so perfectly!  I love to sew!  :)



Curtain and cushions

I like to share projects I have done for others to inspire YOU and let you know what I can make for you!

This is a valance with hidden tabs on the back (see 2nd picture)



Seat cushion with ties for a little girls room (this is my "broken" chair posing for the picture!)


 A mattress/cushion for a doll crib:)   Lots of fun in store for this little girl!  :)


Blanket band. Complete with velcro closure.  A great way to display or just keep track of blankets!  I made 4 of these bands for her blankets, and she was planning to keep them all in a basket.  Great idea!





Two more dresses for the girls

I've had this tutorial filed away and finally put it to use!  Such a fun summery pattern!
Those are birds on their dress if you can't tell:)  I used a men's XL t-shirt from Dollar General and regular knit fabric (blue stripe).

It was time for family pics again, so I was on the lookout for outfits!  I spotted some fun gray zebra fabric at Joann's but wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it.  Something for the girls of course:)  Then I spotted this girl (actually her dress) in my Family Fun magazine and was inspired!!!  


What a fun, simple, and versatile dress!  Short sleeves in the summer and a long sleeve T under it for winter!  Layer with leggings and what a cute outfit!  So, I bought the gray zebra fabric and set to work!  Here is my version. . .



Mine turned out a bit more A-line.  I added the border at the bottom and button on top for eye appeal.  I loved the results!  You might have to wait til Christmas pics are sent out to see our family pics with these dresses, unless I post our pic on here sooner!
