DIY Place Mats

I have been working on some fun and easy sewing projects here lately. These four place mats come from some remnant fabric I had with Thanksgiving themes. I am anticipating a new dining room table (in the style of the computer table) in the somewhat near future, so I opted for place mats instead ofContinue reading “DIY Place Mats”

Too – Low Tank Fix

Why women (or anyone for that matter) will settle for ill-fitting clothing never fails to amaze me. I am not at TV person at all – there are only about 2 shows at at time I can ever really get into and I hate channel surfing – too much visual stimuli for me.

I love prints and holiday sparkle as much as the next gal, but I hate buying these things knowing I could very well make them. I know, I know, here comes that curse again. I hadContinue reading “Chick’n Stir Fry + Easy DIY Holiday Linens”

DIY Felt Garland

This wool felt garland is ridiculously easy. So easy I cannot imagine why anyone with scissors and a sewing machine would ever shell out $25 or more for a garland in a store. I had a pile of triangular felt scraps left over from another project and so decided to put them to good use. MoreContinue reading “DIY Felt Garland”
