Friday, March 12th, 2010Spring Tablecloth
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010
Why not welcome Spring with a cheap and cheerful tablecloth? I made this one for $5.00 with IKEA teatowels in blue and white. (They come in a pack of four for $2.25!!) Here are the steps:
1. Take three of the cloths and stitch them together by their long sides (I cut the finished edges off first so that I could sew them wrong sides together with the machine, but you could just do a simple hand stitch, or you could get fancy and do a decorative topstitch!) Make sure to combine the patterns so two of the same don’t end up right next to eachother.
2. Sew the remaining cloths along their short sides and combine them with the center section that you made. Align the center of each 2-cloth section with the center of the middle cloth from step 1 (see diagram if that’s confusing)
3. Put finished tablecloth on your table and enjoy!
*This tablecloth is made to fit a round table

Tolix Chairs – sooo cute!
Thursday, September 10th, 2009
I (along with everyone else it seems!) totally love these chairs. They’re so industrial and antique-y looking and stylin’. I’m waiting for them to go on sale either at Anthro or Pottery Barn.
