Ruffles

Guess what I've been up to today?

Sewing!

Mom had brought an ABC magazine up one day while visiting and I found some ruffled dust ruffles that I fell in love with.  So I had Mom order me some with her order and she brought them up to me today.

At first I wanted them for our beds. While waiting on them to come in, I began to think of other ways to use them....so here they are.

First, I did the typical thing and added one to one of our guest beds.  I layered it over the existing dust ruffle which worked out great because the bed is high.  

Then I added one to our chair and ottoman. 

Originally I ordered 2, but then I called Mom and had her order me 3 because I wanted to add one to this chair.  I could just invision it and it turned out perfectly! 

I am so happy with how they look together...adding that little pouf that it needed in my book.

This is what it looked like before...now doesn't it look so much cuter?!

I just keep staring at it with hearts in my eyes!

Well, then I had a little bit left over from the chair and ottoman, so I thought I would add it to the slipcover of our other sofa.  

Can you say HAPPY!!!

One of the easiest sewing jobs I've done in a long time...I would still be sewing if I made all the little ruffles from scratch!

Now....if I can keep the hubby from wollering it to death so I can at least enjoy looking at it for a couple of days. 

So soft and sweet, perfect for this little sitting area.

I gave Mama another call and asked if she could order me 3 more....then I'll add them to my curtains, a parson chair slipcover and who knows what else!
