HOW TO... MAKE A LITTLE.... SEEM LIKE... A LOT...

CREATIVE RECYCLING OF THE ORDINARY (TM)

TOILE


TRANSFORMATIONS



A few years ago, during our workshop days,
a happy accident (and five dollars :) brought four yards of
well made, black and white toile fabric into my possession.


With it came a question...

How to showcase this lovely bit of fabric to its best advantage?


===


After a bit of measuring...
I realized I would have enough to make this little valance to embellish a rather ordinary door (above).

===

After a bit more measuring, and some tussling about in my fabric & pillow armoire,

I realized I could transform these worn chair cushions (below).



Into these (below).

Thus, with a little thought...

A tea cup (to make the scalloped edges of the chair cushions)...

A saucer (to make the scalloped edges of the door valance)...

and a vintage Singer sewing machine that only sews one stitch...

combined with a few hours of time...

You can transform a little into a lot!

"FRUGAL LUXURIES: Simple Pleasures to Enhance Your Life and Comfort Your Soul" was written by Tracey McBride and published by Bantam Books, NY, in 1997. It was the first of its genre to synergize the elements of simplicity, frugality and gracious living.

After more than a decade, FRUGAL LUXURIES has never been out of print and is now more relevant than ever.

"It's our hope that a new generation, faced with a teetering economy, will also find this information helpful and enlightening."
