Sewing surprise






My dd made me a table runner. She took two 9x36" pieces of fabric, sewed them together lengthwise, hemmed the edges and sewed large rickrack down the center seam. Great idea.


That also gave me the idea to make pillows in the same way just sewing all around. I'm sure I need another sewing project. ; ) But it does sound like fun.


This afternoon I cut out fabric for six more pillowcases. They are really coming along. I finally figured out how to cut the king size sheet so the pieces are squared. I took it to my bedroom laid it out on the floor folded in half. Then I had my dd help me open out each side then refold to the middle and pull it taut. That seemed to work well. Tomorrow I hope to be sewing up a storm. Although we've had so much rain lately that we probably don't need one of those. ; )

I like your humor!!

No sewing here--but sorting and organizing is to occur starting in the next 5 min. Also, we got a message from the church hot-line that the Duecks could use help with their adoption fund raiser yard sale tomorrow for the setting up, and also on Saturday. ;-) Sounds good to me--glad someone decided to sound the trumpet about that! ;-)
