Pictures of My Recent Projects







This is one of two throw pillows that I covered. I wanted to add some color to my living room. A change in the fabric can add lots of decorative options to a room. 










My shower curtain that I made. It was a first for me to make a button hole. I looked up some "how to" videos on YouTube for help. My sewing machine had all the right parts, and I just had to keep practicing with each hole.










I also made a matching window curtain. I still need to finish this project. I would like to find a pole and hang it just 10" from the top to allow some sun light into the room.





         

                   
The dog bed.

 I started with a plain $2 pillow from Walmart, I measured my fabric so that I could make a removable cover. This is for my little dog, and we like to wash her bedding regularly. This way I can simply take the cover off and easily stuff the pillow right in once it's cleaned.

    good job on the button holes! good ol' you tube.
    i think that's a great idea about hanging the curtain down a tad to allow some sunlight. it's amazing how light can 'open' a room!
