My Bucket List...is quite long, I have to say...There are so many things that I want to experience before I kick the ole'...you know... bucket...Don't you? So many of them are scary to me...Would you believe me if I told you I was afraid to sew on a zipper...lol..I know...A silly little zipper...I tried to get around it...BUT, now I am glad I bit the bullet
and did it...I'm a Zipper Making Mama, now...Yes, Sir~Re~Bob! I plan on remaking the cushion with a new foam, so that it is more square {Boxy} like...But I had to get it done...because I had promised you I would...Don't you hate when a blogger or a real person for that matter tells you they are going to do something and they don't? I hate that...So, I was up until early morning hours completing it just for little ole' you...
Here she is...I love her sooo much!!! I had to name her... You know I name everything and rename people ;)...Her name is "Poor Pitiful Pearl"...I think she is beautiful...I felt as though I was an old~fashioned dressmaker, back in the day...I roll play a lot! I don't really know why...I suppose that it is the actress in me...;) You should of been a fly on my wall...I had pins in my mouth and I had the measuring tape wrapped around every inch of Pearl...Like I really knew what I was doing...I really didn't...I am surprised she looks as good as she does...That Poor Pitiful Pearl ;)
She is made from a painters' drop cloth...I washed the material before I started the project...So that it would shrink up a bit...She doesn't look like a drop cloth, does she?
I did the old mock box trick on the cushion cover...It is actually one continually piece...Very easy to do...And it looks more professional, too...
Do you see Poor Pitiful Pearl's little boo~boo? I pinched her a bit...Ouch!!!...Oh well, as least I will be able to tell her apart from her soon to be twin, Olive Oyl...lol... Yes, Olive and Pearl will be twins in the Old Saloon Gameroom...I am off to sew her up and put her on that ole', ugly, FREE chair that I drug home...I can't wait to see the pair together...
Emmers is getting pretty comfy in Ole' Pearl, isn't she? Awww...so sweet!!!...I love that slip covers can be enjoyed and not worried about...All I have to do is wash her up and put her back on...Easy Smeasy...Don't you think? ;)
