Sometimes it's like this....very slow sewing spell and then all of a sudden there are tons of last minute sewing emergencies... my wedding gown needs to more stunning; my seamstress is in the ER; I've put on a few pounds, and I'm pregnant and my gown needs alterations.
Yes, I encountered all four requests last month! I happily solved the dilemmas of these excited brides and bridesmaids. I always feel good about helping ease the anxiety of my clients. If the request is not too absurd, that is!!!!!!!

Home Dec!!!! I don't know what it is about Home Dec. I just loose my sewing "mojo" when confronted with task. I know, I know, just say no. But this was a dear friend, my sister girl!!!! I had to help her and she insisted on paying me!!!! She wanted 6 lounge chair cushions recovered. We went shopping for fabric and settled on a red/rust solid from Walmart and a nice floral from Joann Fabrics.
I carefully inspected how they where sewn together, carefully took one set apart so that I could use the pieces for a pattern. The cushions were in excellent condition. I was surprised to see that a form rope like substance was used to make the piping---not cording. To save $$$, she decided to ditch piping in her new cushions. Less work for me too!!!!

All in all I loved how they turned out. I think I'll do my own porch furniture cushions next spring!!!!
