Ticking Fabric

Tuesday, 5. July 2011

     This is the way my table runner should look (minus the wrinkles of course) not like this (click here).  This runner was a snap to make.  I just cut it to size and hemmed up the sides.  Here are a couple of pictures of new pillow covers I made with the leftover material from the runner.  They were quick and easy to make too.  I followed the tutorial I found on Rae Gun Ramblings.  The very talented Marissa made the cutest pillows.  Her tutorial was well written and easy to follow.  It took me a bit more than ten minutes to whip these out but I will make all my pillow covers this way in the future.  Thanks Marissa! 

 

     My pillows are pretty wrinkly too.  They get a lot of usage which is why I made them, but I would like them to stay nice.  Guess I can’t have my cake and eat it too.  Here is a picture of the whole couch.

     It looks more summery in the living room now.  It also looks more casual with the ticking.  Do you notice something a little different than the ottoman I reupholstered in the lower right hand?  My husband is working on a project for me.  Sorry, this is all I’m going to reveal for now.  I know, I know, I’m a meanie (just ask my kids).

    hello
    LOVE the table. Would your husband make more and sell them? I’d love to order possibly 7 of them… ( sisters, mom and daughters )
    thanks so much

    Hi Trisha,
    I’m sorry. My husband is not interested in making any more of these coffee tables.
