I graduated from sewing curtains to chair pads.

[Ruth n Jersey]

I finally figured out how to sew something else besides curtains. My girlfriend who went into a nursing home gave me so much fabric. She was a very good sewer. They won't let her use her sewing machine in the nursing home for safety reasons. Such a shame but I do understand. She misses it so much. I doubt I would have bought fabric just to practice.

The valance was from an old table cloth she had. The chair pads were very old. I just covered them over.The circle above the valance is a reflection from my light above the sink.

My goodness Ruth, you are talented!

Well done, Ruth. Everything looks so nice. You're making me want to get my sewing machine out and dust it off.

Very nice. I replaced a zipper on a jacket lately and bought some Velcro to secure some pockets.
