Okay,
first off I know this is way long but I had so much I wanted to cover
and explain. I hope you all can in through the end and that most
importantly you learn things you can use in your mini projects.
This
video is the one I was planning to post the week I didn't have a
video. I decided to post it as a bonus video this week since I am
currently working on two other videos that are both food related.
The
bed was given to me by a friend that used to have a mini store. It
was broken and therefore not really worth much for sale as it was. I
decided to use the opportunity to show you not only how to dress a
bed (well one way there are other methods to cover later) but also
how to do the simple repairs. Face it, things break and instead of
throwing the broken piece away you can do a lot simple repairs
yourself. Also sometimes you can save a bunch of money if your local
store has an “as is” shelf with broken pieces.
I
won't giving you the measurements for the bed spread because that you
will have to size to the bed you are using. Just use the one I showed
you to see how it worked and draw on to fit your bed.
The
pillows were cut the following sizes:
floral-
2 ½” by 5”
dark
green- 2” by 4”
light
purple- 1 ½” by 3”
The
dark purple neck roll pillow
dowel
7/16” by 2”
fabric-
5” by 2”
Beautiful! TFS
ReplyDeleteThe bed looks amazing, Joanne! Thank you so much for this most helpful tutorial!
ReplyDeleteLoved this video and it came at just the right time as I just bought a bed and did not know how to dress it. Could you tell me what sewing machine you use? It looked so easy to change feet and to back stitch.
ReplyDeleteI use a Janome sewing machine that I have had for many years, it the Memorycraft 3000 model.
