I have had a few
burlap coffee bags hanging around and I have been hunting around the thrift shops looking for something to recover. I saw this cute little stool and thought of making a "slipcover" with a ruffle that could be easily removed. In my mind it was
adorable. And before I go any further, I will say that I have a degree in textiles and taught fashion design for many years - I consider myself an advanced sewer and can usually make anything I see -
USUALLY! I started to cut apart one of the coffee bags...still imagining a
cute little ruffly slipcover...
WHAT IS THIS???An ugly, stiff, amateurish coffee bag thingy sitting on a footstool...
Well, back to square 1 and a
traditional upholstered cover?
Still isn't what I imagined...
Maybe a
burlap flower?NO...The flower looks silly...so this is what I ended up with...Tomorrow I am off to the fabric store to buy some pretty fabric and start all over again!! So...what to do with the other 2 coffee bags???
I say
"HAVE A GIVEAWAY" because I am done imagining "cute little ruffly things" made from them!If you would like these coffee bags...leave a comment, follow me, brag about it or tell me what your
brilliant idea is for these burlap bags!
and stop laughing at me - that's mean!!
