Is anyone else watching Project Runway: Under the Gunn? We’ve seen the first episode but not the second, so we need to catch up. It’s nice to watch a show about fashion without the knowledge that I need to create and sew a design hanging over my head. I was ready for a break.
I have done some sewing, though. All of the dog beds scattered throughout the house were in need of cleaning and plumping, so I went to The Store of My People intending to buy some Fiberfill or Poly-Fil or whatever. However, while there, I found standard bed pillows for the stunningly low price of $2.50 each, and after checking that they were made in the USA and therefore not in developing countries using the forced labor of pre-schoolers, I bought several of them and used them to refurbish the dog beds.
Most of that project I had to do by hand, but I decided to cover a couple of the new pillows with some festive fleece to put in Margot’s and Guinness’s crates for extra cushioning. Like this one.
Except what should have taken ten minutes to whip up took forever because my sewing machine is kicking my ass for some reason. I’m taking that thing out to the suburbs and having sewing machine class with Lynne some weekend so she can tell me what I’m doing wrong. The second pillow is on hold until either that happens or I persuade myself that I have the patience to try again.
I do need to figure it out, however, since I’m sure I’ll be willing to take on a future season of “Project Runway” challenges thanks to these two Model Muses who were part of my Christmas from Tim.
I am in … AND CAUGHT UP on Under The Gunn, and I like it — it’s like The Taste only for fashion – and there is Tim Gunn. I feel that there are some choices mentors will regret and already 1 person I can’t stand. Oscar reminds me of Agador Spartacus.
Check your email for my latest estate sale find … it’s kind of amazing, if amazing was covered in pink and purple glitter
You are so right about Agador Sparticus!! I didn’t realize it til you said it.
I’m caught up on Under the Gunn. I am intrigued. I am already tired of Isabelle, who didn’t even finish her dress and got picked, and Natalia, who cried her way into getting picked. I’m not a huge fan of Blake, either & I wanted to like him. I like Sam’s aesthetic and personality, as well as Asha. I was sad to see Rey not get picked.
SPOILERS!!! GARY!!! SPOILERS!!! Becky hasn’t met everyone … only Oscar and Natalia!!!
Found Mlle. Renee on the computer this afternoon, and now she wants a festive fleece covered pillow. I told her to be satisfied with my legs.
If I ever get my sewing machine to work right…
Those cushions are amazingly good value! I want to make use of our sewing machine when we finally move into a house. I’ll be whipping-up cushion covers like there’s no tomorrow!
I would love to see them! Are you still house hunting at all?
We’re hoping to move this year.
That’ll be exciting!
