What I've been up to...

Hello,

For the past few days I've been sewing.  I don't like sewing, but I do like results and I'm thrilled with the results of these past few days...

My first slipcover!  Don't look too closely, you will see MANY mistakes.:)  I am hoping to make white slipcovers for some chairs I bought and maybe my couch, so this ottoman was a great "practice" run.  I made it with a soft white 100% linen I bought at JoAnns'.  Linen is rather spendy, so I will most likely make the other slipcovers in a white linen/rayon fabric I found or from drop-cloths.

The pillows I made with a cotton/linen blend and the big one with ruffles is a white cotton pre-stitched "diamond pattern" fabric I found in the "Fashion Fabrics" at JoAnn's and I made the ruffles and backed it in white muslin.

I'm really looking forward to getting things done and showing you all!
