Thank you, Madame Samm for putting this blog hop together and allowing me the opportunity to cheer everyone on.  This is too much fun!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When doing a little hand sewing, I have never had a place to just relax...

Until now.

(Thank you, hubby for the SEW pretty wall décor.)

 

 

This bench was very hard to sit on until I drew out the seat and made a cushion for it.

This is my first attempt at any kind of upholstery.

Foam?  oh yes I can.

 

 

I made my own piping out of the button fabric to trim the cushion nicely.

 

 

 

I needed a lamp, so I re-covered a lamp shade and added some button trim. (love)
A no sew project, oh my.  Just fabric, scissors, glue, and trim.

 

 

A pin cushion and a thread catcher with ruffles.  

Whimsical and happy.

Need a ruffle tutorial? 

Check out Madame Samm's tutorial.

 

 

 No sewing room is complete without a Dresden.

 

 

Or two.

 This one doesn't let the eye rest.  Very busy on pattern...
Not as bad in person, but when I look at the photo, well, hmm.
 

Storage is a must.  I'll fill these in no time.  The panels made it easy for me to determine the size.

 

I'll do a tutorial soon.

 



 

And a footstool with ruffles.

There is storage  here too...

 

 

These were on sale for 90% off after Christmas. That made them $1.00 a piece.

 

 

I painted them black (actually, hubby did)

 

Added a cushion on top.   More foam!

 (Hubby reinforced the top of the box with a board)

2 layers of ruffles and I have a very nice footstool.

The boxes can hold a lot of stuff!  lol

 

It even makes for a nice outdoor space.

 

 

All that is missing is YOU!

And where is a mug rug and a cup of coffee?

Guess you know what I am making next...

So when you come over you will have a nice place to sit.
