Sandbag House Reno Project: One table cloth, two cushion covers

It's been a while since I hauled out my trusty old sewing machine.

Yes, she's old. Only 21 years younger than I. There was a time when I made nearly all my clothes... dresses, skirts, jackets - with shoulder pads, of course. It was the 80's after all...

I made my flower girl's dress when The Husband and I got married, but not much since. I need to remedy that.

Perhaps today's a start: one old table cloth became two cushions covers. And there's fabric left.

These cushions are destined for the bed in the new guest bedroom.

The headboard is still a work in progress but the cushions are not🤭

Am I getting my groove back? I don't know. But stuff must get done for The Corner. And if I can, I must. That said, I am not unhappy with Sunday's efforts and, perhaps just to get some basic practice, I should make covers for all the cushions for my garden chairs....

Notwithstanding being a little rusty, this was a big baby step.

Until next time
