I can find anything I want for almost nothing!And then I found out they’re closing the store in April.
Well, I guess that makes sense then.I’d better stock up!.It turns out that my new giant table comes in handy when I have like 17 million yards of fabric to work with..
I measured the height of the stool and the circumference.To make it all floofy and pretty, I doubled the circumference measurement.
Then I put the skirt together in two separate pieces, just to make it easier to work with..
I did all the hemming with hot glue (of course), but I used a needle and thread for the basting stitch to make the ruffles..You can see where this is going….
A few weeks into the project, we had made some huge changes in the room and things were really moving along.Then, a couple of things happened: 1) I got baby Jack to start sleeping really well in his crib at nap time, freeing us up just a bit during the day, and 2)Chris realized that he really did want to do more of this project himself so he could be sure that everything is absolutely perfect.
Because it’s Chris.So we got the contractor to finish up what he was working on, paid him for those few weeks, and then we’ve started working in there ourselves.
