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!
