Seam 2 Rip

I have seen videos on YouTube showing how to “braid” a t-shirt. It is more like “crochet”, but I have been curious, and wanted to try for a while. Today was the day. Grabbed an already chopped, and worn shirt I use for lounging, or sleeping.  Perfect for my maiden attempt.

It looks ok, but I clearly need to try a few more times, and maybe watch the video again.Taking notes might be a good idea.  I took pictures. You will have to be the judge.   Ta da!!!!!

Just couldn’t leave it alone.  Not sure how I feel about this. Improvement, or mess???  LOL!!

Terri and I have been talking about perking up her kitchen for months. Painting is on the list, but we were thinking of starting small. Decided  curtains would be a good idea. I had already made one for an area of the family room, now it was time to move to the other side of the room, and the garden window behind the sink.

We found some fabulous, light weight, canvas fabric with all the colors she wanted. Scored a 50% off coupon from a customer standing in line at the cut table. Yipee!!   Kept the project in her price range, and we both did a little dance of joy!

After a few hours, spinach dip,  diet Pepsi, and several dances of joy of my own, I was able to complete both curtains, and 3 new covers for some outdated decorative pillows. The whole area looks brighter, and Terri is tickled pink. I am pleased with how everything looks as well.  See for yourself.
