Today is a day of dreaming.
Actually, I think everyday is.
But today, I'm dreaming of recovering a chair I recovered in college.
It needs some love.
I only have a picture of it right after I finished it.
It looks pretty good, eh?
Well, it did for a while, but then it started to kind of fall apart.
Then I tried to sew all the parts together so they'd stay on a little better.
And once again, they did for a while, but now it just needs a makeover.
Then, my friend showed me these fabulous video tutorials from Miss Mustard Seed... a blog I'd never seen before,
always exciting.
So, now I'm wish that there was a reasonable fabric store closer.
Because while the fabric store in town has some of the cutest fabric I've ever seen,
I just can't justify spending that much on fabric!
Sorry, I just can't do it.
I feel that if I'm going to do it myself, I want to actually save money.
Maybe I'm crazy.
Probably.
Anyways, I need/want some new fabric so I can try out these tutorials.
Hopefully, we'll make a trip to the big city soon.
Totally not related, but after looking at that picture, I really miss those jeans and that shirt, it was SO soft! I'm really hard on clothes and those jeans are long gone... sad day!
Addie, I found a store in Vegas last year when Janeene Anderson and I were loking for a fabric for shower curtains at camp it's called Home Fabrics and has a web site www.homefabticsonline.com It was great, They have all kids of upolstery fabrics and accessories for them. We got our fabric from their sale room and it cost us $3.00 a yard the rest of the store had fabric up to $25.00 a yard (yah) the store in Vegas I went to is 1825 Decatur. So if your coming home soon stop on your way through if they don't have the on sale fabric online. I also got fabric and made new curtains with theral baking for my trailer in the sale fabrics. It's heavy Duckcloth and realy nice. We put it through it's paces before we bought to make sure it would wash and not fade. I felt like I had hit a goldmine.

Aunt Judy,
ReplyDeleteThank you, I checked out the website, they definitely have some fabric that I like. Sadly their sale page wasn't working, so I'll have to check it out again! And hopefully I'll get to check out their store sometime too.
Thanks again!
