It's been a great bank holiday Monday, just spent the day pleasing myself.
One curtain and a duvet cover, from a charity shop and a relative.
With a sewing machine and some interfacing, Are now
An ironing board cover
And a laundry bag.
Feeling refreshed ventured out into the garden, planted my courgette plants 
and weeded in the flower bed.
Time for a cup of coffee and a bit of hooky time
Day complete.
Hope yours was a good one too.

Loved the fabric for the ironing board cover.
ReplyDeleteHi, yes I was pleased when I found it. As it was only one curtain it only cost £1. Love charity shops.

It sounds like an ideal day, sewing garden & crochet! Hope the rest of your week is just as good.
ReplyDeleteThank you, hope you had a good week too.

Fabulous upcycling! I'm always impressed when I see people make something (or things!) out of what us non-crafters would probably think of as rubbish :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to get to some hooky squares soon I hope. Yours are looking great, they're so bright and cheery :-)
Hi Nichole, thank you. I'm always on the lookout for a bargain. Thinking of running adult ed night classes on upcycling sewing for the home in September so having to think of projects to do. Yes my colours are bright, I like to surround myself with colour.

I am so slow, why didn't I think of making my own ironing board cover. Thanks for the inspiration. Jo x
ReplyDeleteHi Jo, I was impressed by how easy it was. I don't think it will last as long as a proper one, but I could add another one periodically to make it nice and soft. And it only cost pence.
