Friday’s Hear!

Fridays hear and I’m chilling for the weekend, not…I have floor plans to work on, area rugs to find, a book fair to go to, my nails need doing/colours a bit strong, laundry to do… I am going to need a weekend to recover from my weekend…so I thought a few interesting pictures are in order….

  4. I have yet to get furniture made with contrasting piping like those white and black chairs. It always looks so great!

  5. I just got your comment! There's a program called snag-it you can download free for 30 days, after that you pay I think it was $50 bucks and you can snag anything you like.

    I didn't take the images from the video though, it was at the end when you look at all the products.
    Have a great weekend!

  6. Hi Carol Ann - I love Fridays too! Love your pictures -- the dark dining room table is just what I want to end up with when I paint my existing table - fingers are crossed!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog. I actually do enlarge some of my photos, and lately I've been giving them as gifts to my girlfriends too. Flowers are such easy subjects for photography - no posing necessary ;D.

  8. Hi Carol Ann: I saw you over at Joni's (Cote de Texas) and you asked her how a 'double ruffle' is done. Actually it is quite simple if one has a sewing machine 'ruffler foot' and follows the instructions per usage. The final result is basically a 'full and/or evenly spaced gather' dependent upon your setting.

    IF curious about the box pleated skirts; a'regular foot and machine stitch' is just used however if making a TRIM there is a tape that you can apply to the wrong side of the fabric and use as a guidline for spacing/creating perfect box and/or knife pleats.

    Perhaps Joni knows other methods, but I have found the above the easiest and the methods give you a professional finish. Hope this helps you a wee bit. -Brenda-

  9. what I mean by double ruffle is that the seamstress puts so many gathers per inch. or foot - how ever she measures it. if you tell her to double it, it is exactly that - make twice as many ruffles per foot that your normally would. that is what those designers are doing to get such a great full ruffle. sometimes even triple. it's more expensive though, but it's worth every penny. I hate skimpy.
