A New Chair Cushion
In Home, Sewing on January 25, 2012 at 7:00 amIn addition to repainting all the kitchen cabinets a lovely shade of turquoie, I have started to sew a slip cover for this chair.
It came with the house. I didn’t pick that fabric out.
When removing the current cover on the seat cushion, I noticed the horrible yellow staining and massive deterioration. Thus, the first step was to make a new seat cushion.
Of course, Elly helped.
First, I cut out a new cushion from the giant roll of foam I ordered from Joann. (I used a coupon to cut the price way down). Next, we decorated the foam with markers.
Afterwards, I wrapped the foam in two layers of low loft batting and then whip stitched it closed.
The difference is amazing. This might be the most comfortable chair in our house now.
Booty from Pottstown Knit Out
In Knitting, Phillies on January 23, 2012 at 2:03 pmSaturday’s snow storm only managed to delay the start of the Pottstown Knit Out by 2 hours.
I arrived minutes before my class started, giving the organizers a bit of a scare. But, I couldn’t resist taking Elly out in the snow. Once outside, I noticed my 91-year-old neighbor’s walkway had not been shoveled. Refusing to let her do it herself, I took my helpers over to clear her sidewalk and driveway.
I will no longer roll my eyes when Dan informs me he really wants to buy a snow blower. Shoveling snow is hard work! I fully support his decision now.
Back to my story of the Knit Out …. My class went great. All attendees agreed that charts finally made sense. It gave me such a great feeling.
Knowing I barely have time to knit these days, I did not buy any of the gorgeous yarns seen. Instead I bought me a new knitting bag.
Isn’t it wonderful? It’s handmade by Ruth Raisner. Get your Phillies bag here.
Go Phillies!
