Rita's Sew Fun -- a sporadic, random blog about nothing in particular.
TODAY THE AUCTION BEGINS..!! Well -- at some point, anyway. But there's no hurry -- because it will be posted for an entire week (until next Thursday, October 7th). And, when I checked this morning, there was another auction still going on...
It will be fine if you go tomorrow morning...or next Wednesday....
Anyway -- here's the website:
FINALLY -- I've started on my Frankensewed swivel chair!!
To review -- I bought a slipper chair at a yard sale for $20. Then, I bought a swivel chair at a thrift store, and had Ross remove the swivel mechanism from chair #2 -- to put it on chair #1.
Here's the post I wrote about this way back in July... https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/196587276401507292/4192236090028580123
 |
| I ripped some random pieces of the canvas fabric, and sewed them together to create a stripe. |
 |
| I added some black knit fabric at the seam -- to create that Mondrian affect... |
 |
| The seasons are changing...time to set up the Featherweight in the living room... |
 |
| Again -- I'm gonna miss the porch!! |
 |
| So, then I placed it on the chair to see how it looked best... |
 |
| Diagonal seems to be the winner... |
 |
| My favorite IKEA fabric of all time. |
 |
| Maureen wears it every day -- and she asked me to make her two more aprons. |
 |
| Maureen loves to cook -- and we enjoyed eating all those Pennsylvania dishes from John's childhood. |
But instead of making two aprons for Maureen -- I made EIGHT Criss-Cross aprons. I decided it would be the perfect hostess gift...and once I got started, I just couldn't stop.
 |
| Maureen got first pick -- and she selected the Marrimekko design. (with two asymmetrical pockets) |
 |
| After we got home, Maureen told me she went to the store, forgetting she was wearing this apron...and a woman stopped her to admire her "dress" |
