Here's another idea: learn how to fold and hem by hemming around the edges of a few yards of fabric to make a springy picnic tablecloth! It's super easy and you can sew a couple fishing weights or hardware washers into the corners so the wind doesn't blow it away!Estee Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09972750842979089929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097491740389976284.post-90146242696974106952010-03-22T15:29:16.335-05:002010-03-22T15:29:16.335-05:00yes, yes, agreed on so much to do, so much to plan...yes, yes, agreed on so much to do, so much to plan. love that spring is full of loveliness and new ideas and i love that you are doing breakfasts for dinner. how cute are you!? you make every day more fun.<br /><br />summ, those are such pretty fabrics! with so many possibilities. i like the idea of a long table runner, a pretty tote bag, a pouch for an ipod, a simple skirt, curtains, or perhaps something for easter gifts. if i had that fabric, i'd rip it into strips for tying onto gifts. of course that wouldn't be much of a sewing project! can't wait to see your work. enjoy your productive week.martahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15027406340527614561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097491740389976284.post-80173364052486746812010-03-22T15:14:22.642-05:002010-03-22T15:14:22.642-05:00oooo...breakfast for dinner all week sounds like f...oooo...breakfast for dinner all week sounds like fun! I'll have to do that for my breakfast-food loving guys sometime.<br /><br />How about cloth napkins? Cloth napkins were my first real sewing project. They are super easy and environmentally friendly. Plus they always make me feel so grown up and like an elegant hostess (even though I use them everyday).<br /><br />Or I like the pillow idea too. I'm addicted to sewing pillows. My couch and guest bed are covered with them. Soon I'll have to start setting some!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06387755027721718430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097491740389976284.post-26230630896999612042010-03-22T14:38:55.737-05:002010-03-22T14:38:55.737-05:00beautiful photo. you did an excellent job picking ...beautiful photo. you did an excellent job picking out fabric :] i have been really into grey & mustard yellow lately.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097491740389976284.post-36390481592838744172010-03-22T14:32:12.745-05:002010-03-22T14:32:12.745-05:00Place mats or table runner or pillow cases sound g...Place mats or table runner or pillow cases sound great.
