a quick weekend project.

Let me start by saying that I am not a seamstress. I know how to sew in the most basic sense. But I’ve found that the basic elements of sewing can produce a lot of projects. They may not be gowns or suits, but there’s a lot of easy home décor projects that you don’t even need a pattern for. My favorite sewing projects are the simple ones: a little measuring, a little pinning, and away we go.

With that in mind, last weekend I jumped into a quick little sewing project. I love my dining room set, but the chairs are very hard wood, and not so comfy on the tush. Luckily, I had some fun fabric on hand just begging for a new life. I picked up some foam and ribbon at Joann, and was off to the races.



Chair cushions and throw pillows are just two of the easy ways to add a quick facelift to your home. The best part is that you can totally customize these projects - the exact colors and sizes you want, instead of whatever you find at the store. Domestic win.
