Making a Room Divider with Fabric and Cardboard

-

 Making Things that are Easy and Quick Everything I do is not always sewing as you could see from my Polar Fleece edging blog.  Now I am sewing today, but I am planning a room divider.  I really don't lift heavy things, but I have a doorway that is just a hole to under the stairs where I store things.  I want to put a room divider there. A.  I can't find anything I like. B.  They are probably heavy. So  I am going to put random pieces of cardboard together to the size I want and then cover it with Library fabric that looks like books on shelves.  This has been something I have been searching for and have not been able to find for a month or two.  So I decided to make one. Sew, I am posting a picture of the divider I fashioned.  It is actually attached to a hanger so that it can be rotated to go into the storage space under the stair.  There is no electrical light, so I managed to find some motion detector lights on amazon that I could stick on the sides and under a stair back a

Currently Making Sweater Dresses out of my Knits Stash to keep off the Chill Always, I make the earrings and scarves and then the rest of the dress is fast. The sweater dress I like is composed of many pattern pieces that I like. The bodice from a combination of a dress pattern, and a sweater pattern and sleeve.   Simplicity 2189 dress and length and over lay of sweater pattern Kwik Sew 4069- for sweater fit at top and necklines. The collar from another sweater pattern.   Kwik Sew 4217 The pockets from a pattern piece I keep out because of the size and shape that suits me.  Pocket pieces I like pinned to a burlap type upholstery fabric panel that I use for a back drop for repeat pieces and guitar charts and guitars.   Earrings are covered buttons, that I have pulled the shank out, covered and then glued an earring back on that I buy in bulk. Earrings made from covered buttons after I pull the wire shanks out and cover and glue earring backs I buy in bulk. Scarves are whatever is leftov

Making simple Outfits

SewalongwithKitty.com   Yes, that's me.  Always made my clothes even when I was a Real Estate Broker, or a Budget Anyalyst for the Government... Or when I worked at different Banks.  I remember that shirtwaist to this day..That was probably 40 years ago.  Lovely lightweight cotton and I put an elastic casing at the waist so I wouldn't have to make a belt... That sweatshirt jacket matched perfectly and I just turned under the edges of the front and topstitched. I have always loved sewing and wearing pretty colors.  I like the control of picking the colors and styles you want. Make anything and feel so much better after you make it and wear it and say... "I did that!".... No matter what else might go wrong, I know I can always make an outfit and feel good about myself. You should too.
