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).

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!
