the end of elving

This last week of 2010 brings us to the end of our gift making and to the beginning of a new blog.  This week we reupholstered our kitchen chairs.  These chairs have been in the family for many years and as you can see below they have already been recovered at least one time. 

We made cloth sandwich pouches too, one to gift and one for us.  You may see similar projects appearing in the future when we recover from elving season 2010. 

Tschüss,

Here you can see the original striped material peeking out from under the later floral fabric, which is now under the new floral fabric.
