I'm pretty proud of myself for this one. We bought a nice wood futon from a neighbor for $25. The whole thing is in great shape except for the cover. It had clearly been washed and used A LOT. I knew immediately a new one was in order. First things first, I removed the 12 foot zipper from the existing cover to reuse. I didn't want to purchase a new zipper of that length ($$$!) and, it was just going to go to waste because Bagette Danny wants the denim to make bags. Then, I used the old cover as a pattern and picked out Harmony's GOREOUS organic cotton denim in Evelyn and Janette (available in my Etsy Shop) for the new one. It turned out great and so much nicer than the faded one. Yay! Teresa
I've been checking a lot of things off my sewing 🧵 to do list lately:
1 & 2) Two sets of jammies for the littles that Ellica is a nanny for. It was the baby boy's first birthday a couple weeks ago. I fear they might be a bit big but at least there's room to grow! 👶🏻 🎂
3, 4 & 5) Tennis theme GBL bags for the local high school girls team. I wasn't at the dinner but I hear they were a big hit! 🎾
Happy Friday! I hope you have had a good week. I'm completely thrown off on days due to Easter and other scheduling. I'm in the mountains hoping to get some sewing done, miles walked and tons of fresh air. You? XOXO--Teresa
My sister is here and we are going through old photo albums of our mother. This is just one of many amazing photos of her. Unfortunately, she passed away just shy of 65. She was the best of the best and I miss her every day. She taught me to sew and Green Bag Lady is dedicated to her (and now Bagette Dad too). Boy, do I wish they were still here. ❤️❤️❤️ Teresa
