So today after church, Brittany and I headed to our favorite place to shop for vintage accessories - Alyssa's Antique Depot. Though we did not find any vintage fabric or pillows for Brittany's new chairs, we did find several other little knick knacks for Mama;) I never leave Alyssa's empty handed:)
So we then headed to Joanne's Fabrics. I must say that I have been direlect in the education of my daughter. She had NEVER been to Joanne's Fabrics before. As we walked into the store, Brittany grabbed my arm and gasped, "Mom, I'm in love with this place!!!! Why haven't you brought me here before?" I still cannot believe I deprived my daughter the joy of Joanne's...shame on me!
After spending quite some time in the fabric section, we found the PERFECT upholstery fabric for her chairs and discovered it was 40% off!!! SCORE!!!! We then spent the rest of our time there exploring. I made sure my daughter was exposed to every nook and cranny of this crafting paradise:) As we perused each aisle, our inner crafter flowed freely. We were in crafting heaven!!!
But back to our chair DIY!!! Once we got our prized bargain fabric (regular $10.99 a sq/yrd reduced to $6.59 sq yrd), we raced straight home and had her chair seats reupholstered in less than one hour. Oh yes, and we did it while watching Soul Surfer:) Total cost for these chair remakes was $26.19 - $13.19 for fabric and $12.99 for an upholstery/wood stapler.
With all of our recent remodeling projects, Brittany and I have decided that we need to open up a booth at Alyssa's next summer:)
In His Love, Cathy
