Thanks and pictures
Last month I posted a question about cutting strips for a futon cover I
was working on. Just wanted to say thanks for the tips. My strips ended up reasonably straight. And here's a photo of the cover and my sewing room in general. I know you guys are pretty talented sewers here so you probably won't be too impressed with my futon cover but my sewing room should make some of you drool a little. I'm really pleased with it and it's a joy to work in. http://dawnalguard.com/crafts/2005/0...ton-cover.html Dawn |

At a minimum, you could add a serger. ;-) -- Beverly delete no spam and .invalid to reply |

I have a similar chair and ottoman and a couch -- want to come over and cover them for me? I have a bolt of Ultra-suede-type fabric to do it. Your sewing room is entirely too neat! And dark. You do need more light in there, the dark furniture adds to the darkness, but you are wonderfully organized. You do need a serger and at least one or two "spare" machines. At least one Featherweight, perhaps, to decorate the room. ;-) Now, feel free to clutter it up a bit with Works in Progress! -- Joanne @ stitches @ singerlady.reno.nv.us http://bernardschopen.tripod.com/ Life is about the journey, not about the destination. |

Beautiful room, Dawn. Love the polished wood cutting/project table.
Watch the halogen light fixture. We had one; they are a true fire hazard, and produce a tremendous amount of heat, making your air conditioner work hard. I found that working under such a lamp dried my eyes out and made them ache. Other halogen owners have complained of the same problem. I tossed my halogen lamp after a moth flew over it and burst into flame on the wing."True daylight' bulbs are an excellent substitute. Lovely room. Shall I send you some sewing clutter? Cea |

Beautiful room too and I agree with the others, it's time to add another sewing machine to the space. Good luck with your next project. I enjoyed your "Blog" page too. Liz |
