My First Project

After playing around with my sewing machine and using old fabric to test my skills on I decided to put my skills to the test. We have a million pillows on our couch but they are all the same color as our couch, so I thought I would spice it up a bit by making pillow covers for two of the pillows.

Pillow before transformation--boring!

Both pillow covers cut and pinned before sewing:



New pretty pillows --I hope to find a fun orange or yellow to add to the collection next!



I enjoy sewing but I need a lot more practice before I start making anything fancy.

Foo Dog After (FINALLY!)

We finally finished painting the Foo Dogs (3 mos. later…) and I lurves the orange! FYI, they definitely needed priming before the orange spray paint went on them. Otherwise the paint just starts to bubble up (yes, this does come from experience, I might have got too anxious and some primer may not have gotten on one of their bellies.) Anyway, once patience and time were appreciated the pups came out looking alright!
