Some New Sewing Projects!

Well.. In the days leading up to me starting the fall semester at ASU, I dusted off my sewing machine to knock out a few projects before I didn't have time to do any crafting thanks to upcoming homework assignments.

Our first order of business (after deliberating over colors the last three years...), we finally decided on a paint color to repaint our hideous walls (colors that came with the house). We chose a nice, inviting white paint with a hint of yellow. (If you're more inclined about specifics, its the Behr Premium Plus - with primer included - in a shade they call Ivory Palace.)

Note the original vs the new below:

Well... Since we were working to improve the appearance of our interiors.. I made up some valances to cover the not-so-pretty wooden blinds that hang in the windows.

And.. while I was at it.. I finally got to a project I have been putting off forever.. Making dining chair slip covers. With a little boy around, its tough to keep things clean ALL the time.. so, in the event that something spills on his lap and onto the seat, it will be an easy fix by washing the covers.

So, there you have it. The projects I managed to complete last week. Projects this week include some easier tasks.. like doing a few more scrapbook pages.
