Day 366 - A 365 patchwork table wearing leg warmers.

Here it is, my last project, with the other one of my free nest tables. It is a tribute to my 365 project, and comes with woolly legs, for the chilly Bendigo winters.

What an awesome thing to have done. I have loved doing it, learning new skills, trying things I never would have tried, and getting a huge buzz from completing things I never imagined making.

My new blog is here. http://avintagecraftyadventure.blogspot.com.au/ Not set up yet but hopefully I will get a chance to do that over the next couple of days. You can keep following my ramblings if you want to.

Thanks to everyone who has supported me over the past year and kept me going. Special mention to Joyce, I've loved your comments and appreciation.

I'm off to have a cuppa now, with Little A at kinder for 2 hours, I get a tiny bit of time a week where no one is talking to me. Now that's what I call bliss! x

Day 350 - Repurpose an old table to new foot stool

I inherited 2 of old nesting tables that have been sitting in the shed for a couple of years.  As of today, one is now a cute foot stool.

Here's what I did.

Used a square piece of cardboard to draw patchwork squares on fabric scraps and cut out squares of fabric.

Lay them out the way I thought they looked nice.

Sew them into three strips and then sew the three strips together to make one panel.

Old table.

Found this old sheepskin seat cover for padding on the top of the table. If I was more organised I would have used wadding or foam, but this is what I found today in my house.

Stretch the fabric over the table, with the sheepskin underneath, and hammer in some tacks to secure it.
