Nothing like a quick project to clear your mind after a longer one. The vinyl on my #VintageSinger’s seat was pretty worn out, so it seemed like a good time for a refresh.

It’s not perfect, but it is done! I could not have done it without my tough-as-nails #VintageSinger 301, but also @therealcraftsy has a must-watch class by Cherie Killilea about slipcovering chairs. I especially love her method for #sewing mitered skirt panels with no topstitching that looks hard, but is really easy to #sew. Now, what do I do with the other almost-12 yards I have of this fabric?

This is a feature I wish were more common on #sewing machines. The needle plate for my #VintageSinger has little hash marks that show the distance to the needle, not just in the horizontal direction, but in the vertical, too. It makes pivoting at corners a breeze! #sew

September is a great time for new beginnings! Yesterday, we celebrated my darling niece’s birthday. Today, @lisacneel and I are celebrating the business we dreamed up - Twins N Needles! It’s hard to believe it’s been two years. 2020 has definitely thrown us some curve balls, but we are still excited to help people grow their #sewing skills or just enjoy their next wonderful project a little more. #sew #twinsnneedlesevents

It still needs a zipper, a skirt, and a little more padding on top, but I’m super happy with my first slipcover! #sewing #sew

Finally got my slipcover all cut and pinned. Man! Trying to keep in mind that I’ve never done this before. It’s taking a lot longer than I thought it would - but that’s normal when you #sew something new-to-you, right?

I can definitely see room for improvement, but for my first recovering/piped seams/upholstery fabric #sewing project, I think this is off to a good start. I got the fabric on Facebook Marketplace. I hadn’t done that before, but one of my sewing students LOVES it, so I thought, why not? Got an entire roll of the red fabric for $50. I’m excited about moving on to the main slipcover. I thought the cushion would be the easy part, but the curvy seams were a challenge! Hopefully the rest of the project is a little easier. My mom rocked me in this little chair when I was a baby. It’s been mine since I bought my first home in 2004. In that time, it’s been through three moves and four cats, so it needed a little love!

I have been #knitting this scrappy blanket since March. I’m now about 70 rows from finishing it. Truly not sure what I will do while watching TV once it is done.
