Sofa Slip Cover Update

I thought I would post an update on my sofa slip cover project.....

I now have the bottom 3 cushions done....

I am so glad I did get the NEW sewing machine....

my old one would have never made it through this project....

I can not believe what a difference this new machine has made.....

I had to make a pattern for the bottom cushions ....

it was not that hard to do but very time consuming and a lot of steps.....

This the the arm pattern I am working on now.....
I am making the pattern and then on to cutting and sewing.....

I have never made a cording before....that took a bit of time...
the cutting sewing and then sewing it on the cushion.....
I have been sewing all my life but this Slip Cover project has been a challenge......

all of the sewing and pattern making has been kinda fun......
When this project is done I will have used 3 queen quilts (that I bought at Marshalls a while ago) and I'm not sure now many curtains that match the quilts I will use for the skirt yet....I will let you know when I'm alllll done......

Just the arms and skirt....I'm almost there......
Just slow and steady !!!!!!

"Savannah"

I wanted to share a picture show of my

favorite pictures taken in Savannah last week...

A very old mansion......

I loved how the sidewalk look after the light rain......
Store front fall decoration......

Fish down spout....cute!!!!!

I loved this little cottage....the Red door is Fabulous!!!!!

Side garden ...just enough !!!!

I loved the way the ivy grew around this cut of a side porch.....

We had a nice walk along this street......

an old bench that caught my eye........ I love the way the Spanish Moss just floated from the beautiful trees......

Hoped you enjoyed your little tour of Savannah......

Just a little up date on my Slip Cover project.....
My Sewing machine "BROKE". I was hoping that it would make it all the way through with the slip covers but I think it was just tired...It really did a lot of work for me over the years....GOOD NEWS is I bought another one and so the project goes on....I'm getting there......
Hugs and Love.....Take care...

"My Slip Cover Project"

******************************************************

Slip Cover Project !!!!!

I took a little break from my blog just to catch up on a few things....now I seem to have a little more time for fun things......and to catch up with my blog friends......

************************

I have been working on a NEW project.....I'm slip covering my sofa......I can sew and have been for years but slip covers is another story.....I though to myself how hard can it be......I found these quilts at Marshalls and fell in love with the colors.....so I bought all they had a while back and just waited until I had the energy to attack this project....I'm just taking my time and really enjoying my sewing adventure.....

So far I have made the back cushions...not a problem thank goodness....very basic....
They were fairly easy....I just made a pattern and sewed........

I really like the way it is turning out so far.....now on to the cushions....I think I have it figured out how to do them...I'm tackling them next...then the sofa it self.....
I hope it will look something like this when I'm done....just slow and steady....wish me luck....

This is the BEFORE....."very dated" but I just love the lines of this sofa.....

I will keep you up dated as I go along....

Hugs,

Mo :-)
