Organize

After Christmas I feel like cleaning and organizing…

recovering a lampshade

You will need scissors, washable marker or chalk, and a hot glue gun.  The steps are outlined below :

Trace pattern by rolling shade on fabric while using chalk or washable marker. With marker or chalk add 1 " all around pattern then cut.

Lay shade on its side. Fold side of pattern 1/2" and hot glue onto shade. Then glue top and bottom around edges onto shade. I clip the top edge in 3 or 4 places to go around the frame pieces.

Stand back and admire !

Now that the demands of the Holidays have passed it is nice to work on things that have piled up in the work basket. I have mended a coat zipper and now I’m finishing a piece of patchwork :

Linen towel

Here is a 100% linen kitchen towel I made as a gift.   The loop is Japanese cotton fabric.

Breakfast Menu

We are giving a Christmas breakfast here tomorrow, so of course I had to whip out my art supplies and create a menu ! I tried using the only calligraphy pen i could find (from Michael’s Craft store).

coffee cup sweater

i used a tutorial from http://houseonhillroad.typepad.com/ to make this Christmas gift. My fabric choice was wool felt.

Tired out

I also feel like falling asleep at my sewing desk. Wake me up when it’s over !
