What I did for Art today...

Just finished this rolling ottoman project for Northwest Children's Theater. They needed it recovered for a play coming up so I volunteered to do the sewing/upholstery. It was a pretty fun project even though I have not done much upholstering for a few years now. Found a great shop for fabric covered buttons at The Whole 9 Yards. I used the previous cover as a pattern- lucky for me the Theater had picked out an overall pattern on the new fabric so I did not have to match stripes like before. This project inspired me to figure out what was wrong with my sewing machine- it turned out to be a bad bobbin case- so that now my old Kenmore sews a lot smoother. Yeah!
