She Who Sews - Don't Let the Door Stop You Day 1 and My Day

Today is the first day
of
2 blog hops in 1
 
Let's get this party started!!


She Who Sews
and
Don't Let The Door Stop You
Blog Hop
 
+ 1 more day
Today - February 7th

with
as our Sponsor

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.
 
Here are the other She Who Sews Hoppers of the day:
 
January 27th

 Joy Studio 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Creatin' in the Sticks You are here!

 
 
 
Tomorrow there will be a lot of doors stopped.
 
 
 
Now, for a giveaway.
Believe it or not, I didn't use all the fabric.
I ran out of time.
 
So, one of the large panels is going to someone who leaves a sweet comment below.
If you are a follower, new or loyal, you can leave a second comment.
That's 2 chances to win!
This giveaway will end at midnight February 7th.
 
The Giveaway is over
and
The Winner is
Robin!
