I have painted a cabinet that will hold a tv though - I mostly followed this tutorial I did have a lot of trouble with the paint sticking the drawers shut though, and if I did it again after I put the masking tape on I would cut around the drawers with a stanley knife and lift them out and paint them seperately. But it still looks pretty cool :D
And since I can't sew all I've done is buy.....
StyleArc patterns
My first fabric.com order - I found the fabric a bit thinner than I expected, but it has a beautiful sheen to it and I love the fact I got 100% silk for $4 a meter!!
I've been reading up all my blogs and fell in love with Oh, Fransson! and have planned a couple of quilts - she makes it look so easy and I love the bright modern designs. So I have a few orders coming from my favourite etsy seller LilyBellaFabrics, like these Heather Bailey fabrics which will make a quilt for my sewing room;
Joel Dewberry fabrics for my bedroom
and some Robert Kauffman fabrics that will make a quilt for my son;
I'm also waiting on a couple of sewing pattern orders and a walking foot for when I make some chanel style jackets and have to quilt the lining....Yikes, I neeed my sewing machine and room back!
Love the look of your silks.. Very nice - 2 are similar (or the same maybe?) as the ones I ordered and one completely different - can't wait to see what you make with them - great cabinent too. Still waiting for my silks. They are thinner than a wool would be because they are raw silk. Very nice feel though. I purchased some before.
ReplyDeleteAlso - am interested in how the style arcs go too..
ReplyDeleteI think we did get a couple of the same silks :) They are so much more gorgeous in real life, they have such a nice sheen to them.
DeleteI've made a style arc skirt before but no pants - and since everyone loves the stylearc pants I'm interested too - fingers crossed!

DeleteI really enjoyed this entire post. The cabinet is fantastic. Its going to be a great piece in the room. I really enjoyed the wide-legged pants in your style arcs and can't wait to see them. All of your fabric selections are so happy and cheerful. I really like the ones for your bedroom quilt.
