WOYWW

 Good morning all 

This lovely sunny weather gave me the incentive to do a bit of Spring cleaning. I washed my curtains and then had to let them down and re hem as they had shrunk! They are all done and nice and fresh.

Then, I decided to re- cover the seats on my sewing room chairs. They are 1970s teak and go with the dining room table that I use as a sewing table. I really should paint the frames too but I ran out of steam. So, here are my finished chairs. There are 3 of them in my room so it was quite a challenge and lots of stapling.

My friend asked me to make an outfit for her granddaughter who is in a concert as a mill worker. I am waiting for measurements for the top and skirt but I made a start with this little shawl made from a scarf.

So that's me for this week. I have another set of bookmarks to do today so I will be busy!
Have a good week all

That sounds a very busy week, curtains and re-upholstering! It has been gorgeous weather though, shame it is coming to an end for a while. Happy WOYWW and good luck with the bookmarks! Helen #1

The shawl is perfect already, clever gal! Well done on a fab job with those chairs, I like the fabric and they look so neat. I’d have sworn mightily if curtains had shrunk with me, they might have been put back up with a gap, lol. I detest doing anything with curtains, you may have worked that out!! *grin*

Love the shawl but the reupholstered chairs and the curtains (how I hate it when they shrink) are fabulous transformations .Fortunately the only ones I have up are to be dry cleaned.

I love the fabric on the newly covered chairs and the little shawl is fab [I have something here for you when you're out and about...but don't get too excited].
