Beautiful! I have a small dresser and gossip bench I want to refinish come spring and the gossip bench needs a bit of reupholstering on the seat and back....can't wait to try it for the first time! Just gotta figure out where to put it in my house!
AWESOME Moms4Christ!
Just like immersedingrace I have a bench that needs re-doing. And I really should get off my duff and make a slip cover for my loveseat. Really cool fabric Moms4 did you special order it?
Harry Hines? Outlet store??? Oh boy - oh boy was I ever missing out! Sewing used to be a cheaper hobby, now it is more a labor of love with the price of fabric these days!Actually, I got it down on Harry Hines at a fabric outlet store. I went to Joanns and to Hancock Fabrics but their prices almost made me rethink the upholstery project. It was a steal at $3 per yard and I got enough to make curtains as well but it is double sided so on the other side it's a different print...I'll post a pic later of the reverse side of it.
What is a Waldorf Bunting?I hope to start on my first Waldorf bunting doll today. I'm prewashing the fabric now. Hopefully it won't be too hard.

Waldorf is a particular learning philosophy for children--learning through play, encouraging creative play, etc.
Waldorf dolls are really simple little dolls that have a particular look (little to no facial features to encourage kids to use their imagination to fill in the blanks). Here's an example of a Waldorf doll that I found online.

The ones I'm working on are little bitty baby ones. I can only HOPE that one day they will come out as nicely as the one pictured.

They are just square bags filled with rice and soothing herbs.e frozen and used as an ice pack or put in the microwave for 45-60 seconds and used as a heat pack. My daughter loves to make them so we save scraps from other projects and she goes to town.what are spy bags and rice packs?
I saw the pics of the spy bags...just not sure why they have that name.
Thanks.
You're braver than I am. My girls love them but just reading the instructions intimidates me.I hope to start on my first Waldorf bunting doll today. I'm prewashing the fabric now. Hopefully it won't be too hard.
I took a pic of my 3yo in it today. I'll see if I can get it on the computer. s a simple thing based off her favorite skirt that is getting too small.
JulySheMustFly show us that skirt you made!
LOL about hubby being scared.I just looked around at the ones on Etsy and played with a design that I liked using scraps I had laying around. I used the heavy plastic from a comforter bag as the window so I didn't have to buy more fabric. Hubby gets scared when I go tot he fabric store. I can't seem to come out of it without spending at least $30.
Good luck with the drapes. I have to work on the ones in my kitchen but I've been putting it off.
I might try making some of the rice packs. How long do they stay warm/cool each time you use them? Sounds like a good way to use up some of my smaller scraps.They are just square bags filled with rice and soothing herbs.e frozen and used as an ice pack or put in the microwave for 45-60 seconds and used as a heat pack.
