I joined Wendy from Sugarlane Designs and others for the
Friday Night Sew In again this month.
I decided to work on my long-neglected living room reupholstery project. I spent Thursday cutting out all the necessary pieces and shortening metal zippers so I could jump right into the project.
I spent Friday night sewing together the first cushion and then ripping it out because the corners were bulging weird. Then I finally figured out the best way to sew it together and sewed it together again.
By then it was getting late. I decided to build the other five side cushions with an assembly line process and I started by assembling the zipper panels.
My Friday Night Sew In continued into a Saturday Sew In. On Saturday, I finished assembling the remaining five side cushions.
I still have the three back cushions to finish as well as recovering all the seats, but I hope I'll finish them before next month's sew in.
That is a big project to take on - but well done - it is looking great...looking forward to the whole lot done!
ReplyDeleteGoodness, you are brave. This is not a project I would tackle. Good luck, looking good so far. xx
ReplyDeleteI concur with your readers! Wow, so ambitious. You seem determined to knock things off of your list. Carry on!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I should have enough skill for this project.
DeleteWow! You sure took on a big project!
ReplyDeleteThe "secret" to covering cushions is to get the fabric REALLY tight.
