The cutest seahorse ever...

I wanted to try my hand at making some slipcovers for my blah-ze dining room chairs. I sewed one during naptime the other day, with a cheap linen-ish fabric I got from Wal Mart. It turned out pretty nice. Now I have to sew enough slipcovers for 4 more chairs (I only have 5 chairs now, one broke right under me while I was nursing my baby. My husband walked in and found me laying on the floor with the baby still nursing like nothing even happened!)

In addition to sewing these, I decided to brandish some sea critters on the back, just for interestingness (I know it's not a word but it sounds good). I used Citrasolv and a copy I made from a Xerox machine. Apparently you can use laser prints too, but not prints from a jet printer. Anyhow, it came out cute, though smaller and lighter than I wanted. I'm alright with it though because there's no way to fix it and I'm not sewing another cover. Nope!

Here she is...

I'm off to bed, Friends. Thank you for visiting & thanks for inspiring me!

  2. Would you like step by step on transferring the image on fabric or making the slip cover and doing the transfer? I've made pillows with sea critters too, might make an easier tute. Let me know, I'd love to do it!
