So, one of my favorite things about our home is that we have an eat in kitchen and a dining room. When we first moved in, I had visions of only eating in the dining room for when we had company or for special occasions (birthday, anniversary, etc.). Well, it didn't quite work out that way. Dave and I have been eating in the dining room every night since we never got around to purchasing a kitchen table. That all changed tonight. We had purchased a small bistro set for our yard for when we eat dinner "al fresco" during the summer. With the cold winter coming, we have since brought in the bistro set and were storing it in the garage. Well, this morning, I had a brainstorm. Why don't we use the bistro set as our kitchen table?! I ran this idea by Dave and he was all for it. I wasted no time at all thinking of where I could buy a table cloth and if I should get chair cushions or not.
At lunch today, after roaming around Wal-Mart for a good half hour, I stumbled upon their fabric department. Ah-ha! Why don't I get creative and make my own table cloth? I chose my fabric and after purchasing 2 yards (wayyyy too much fabric) I was all set to get domestice diva-fied! After dinner tonight (our last dinner in the dining room) I dragged the bistro set into the kitchen and got work on trimming down my fabric.
For my shower, someone gave me a sewing box that was in my wishing well, that came with the magic hem stuff, that I used to hem the jagged edges of the fabric. I think it came out pretty good. My goal is to one day learn how to sew so that I won't have to keep using the cheaters way out. Here is the finished product, along with a view of my hem.
