A Little Sewing Project

I am tooting my own horn in this post because I took on a sewing project for the first time since I took Home Economics in 7th Grade! We have not done much to our bedroom since we first moved in, right after getting married. We got our comforter and curtains as wedding gifts, not to mention our furniture. We have added art and prints to our walls from our travels to Rio, Paris and Edinburgh, but our room has never felt pulled together to me. I put bedroom lamp sets on my Christmas Wish List for 3 years before finally getting them this year, and that helped a lot! I have been searching for just as long for blue tabble runners to use on top of the dressers. They don't exist. At least not inside of my price range! So, I purchased a table cloth, on clearance, and with my Grandma coming into town I got brave! With her and my mom's help, we cut the table cloth down to the sizes I needed, stay-stitched it so the material wouldn't unravel, sewed the first hem, and then pinned the exact dimensions for the final hem. I won't claim that it's perfect, but I'm very pleased with it, and I love how it helps display all of the stuff on the dresser instead of it just sitting there.
