Making the stuff in your home your own style
Posted by Inger Carina | Filed under sewing
Sometimes you don’t want the stuff for children (or other products) they sell in the stores because it has A LOT OF strange prints that you don’t like :)
My quick tip for today is: Unpick the seams, save ribbons with buckles, elastic ribbons etc cut out new fabric from the pieces and sew it all back together again in a fabric that you like.
Maybe you have a nice fabric — make a remake.
A pram for the dolls and a bouncy seat that I’ve made new fabric for that suits better with our style & taste.
