Sewing Extension On The Cheap




Latest Project

Spending . . . 

Pennies instead of Dollars



If you sew, you may have seen

these wonderful extensions

that you can purchase to 

custom fit your sewing machine.

One of my best friends just 

purchased one for around $300.



Those of you that know me

also know that I'm cheap.

Therefore; my thought was 

why can't I build my own?




Not only did I not buy lumber

(all came from Steve's old scrape pile)

this wood was saved from an 

old unwanted bookshelf.




After I made it,

I covered it with Pioneer Woman

brand contact paper.

That was my only cost in

this project. 

 $6.97 at Walmart






I have never done a 

contact paper project 

without a gummed up mess.

I guess it's not my favorite

thing to work with, but it does

have some very good functions.

In this case it's nice and smooth

so that the fabric glides easily over it.

"And it's pretty" 😊 


I hope this inspires you to

try a new project.

Especially if it saves

you some money :)

~~~🌼🍀🌼~~~

Have a wonderful week

and remember to put

God first.

Diamonds From Amazon


 

I purchased diamonds 

from Amazon 

for my Valentine's present 

to myself :)

No, there are not earrings  . . .

They are cabinet knobs LOL. 

 




 

 

 

Here are my dressers finished

A little paint

(that I already had)

and the new knobs. 

If you are interested in these pull

handles, go to Amazon and type in

this information ↓

  


 

 

Another thing that I did in the bedroom

was add these dollies to the windows.

 


 

 All that I did was iron them

with spray starch and then I took

a children's glue stick and glued them

to the window.  

The glue is washable, so removing

should be a snap. 

 

I forgot to add these two photos

to my last post.

I have a footstool in front of the

sofa, so I use this tray for a place to

set a "cup-a" when I have company. 

 


 

I thought that putting this quilt

on the sofa would be in keeping with 

my February theme. 

 

I hope that you enjoyed

the little tour and that it 

will inspire you . . .

Spring is almost here and we'll be 

sending so much time outside

that we won't have the time to tweek the house

like we do now . . . Have Fun!

God Bless You All

Happy Valentine's Day


 

Happy Valentine's Day

Dear Friends :)

 


 

I did a little decorating 

for the month of 

February. 💕

 

 

Even in the kitchen;

where I made these

little hearts 

to hang on the cupboard

knobs. 💗

 



 

Let love and faithfulness

never leave you;

bind them around your neck,

write them on the 

tablet of your heart.

Proverbs 3:3

 


 

I have a pot-luck today

this is my contribution. 💕 

Wishing you all 

a wonderful day,

God Bless You,

Your blogging sister,

Connie :)
