Finished Project

Where has my time gone these days ?

Seems like everyday I am missing a few hours

and I can't seem to get caught up..

ANYWAY... I finished our second major project

in my upholstery class tonight..

I got the cushion to my chair finished..

However, we aren't going to learn how to do the chair

until next semester...( job security) haha

BUT... until then I have a great cushion..

In fact... I'm trying to find another chair in this house it will fit on.

This poor ole' chair started off it's life

as a lovely shade of LEMON ????

Life had taken a toll on it I must say..... and

several spills to it's lemony exterior later

I bought it at a garage sale for 10$.

It has been sitting in my garage patiently awaiting it's NEW life.

So when we were instructed to bring a cushion from home

I KNEW JUST THE ONE !!!!

I took every single piece of it apart (NOT my favorite part)

to make the pattern for the NEW cushion.

I found some fun fabric and I was ready to start.
space

It took me 2 whole class periods to get my pattern done,

and 2 more to get it made....

BUT... 2 weeks, many curse words (most in my head),

countless seams ripped out, LEARNING how to put in a zipper,

and resewing many stitches later.......

I am FINISHED....

and I gotta say I'm pretty proud of myself.

I have learned to do something I have always wanted to do.

I have also made some lovely new friends,

meet a precious woman who teaches our class,

learned how to follow directions (still NOT loving that),

learned how to make a pattern, and FOR SURE

learned the importance of a sharp seam ripper...

May we NEVER stop trying the things that

we've always wanted to do....

You just might end up DARN proud of yourself.
