Redecorating for Cheap!


Yesterday morning I had to run into Walmart for light bulbs for the kitchen and while there as I always do I check out the Craft Section and found to my delight that new $1.50 per yard fabrics were delivered, digging through bolts, I found two of the same pattern that I like and bought 13 yards, though I had to have it cut separately in 7 yard and 6 yard pieces due to an irregularity in the print. As soon as I got home, I started sewing. I made two 84 inch panels for my sliding door and two 60 inch panels for the dining room window. I also made 7 new pillow covers for our toss pillows and still have some fabric left over. My house now has a complete new look for less than $20 and one full day of sewing. Wondering what I should I make with the leftover pieces, a table runner maybe??
