No Sew Project: How to recover your outdoor cushions using fabric and a glue gun.

March 3, 2018 91 Comments

Re-cover your outdoor cushions using fabric and a glue gun - no-sew project

Because we are in Southern California, we’re able to be outside most of the year.  We do a lot of entertaining and much of it is on our patio.  It’s nice to change up the look of our patio furniture, and we can do so pretty regularly with just a little fabric and a glue […]

Beginner crochet pattern for a fun and easy coffee cozy.

December 19, 2013 Leave a Comment

My friend Rhonda is a crafty genius.  She can do a little bit of everything, including crochet things.  I cannot crochet.  I think I have a mental block about it for some reason.  Maybe I had some sort of yarn trauma in my childhood I have yet to come to terms with.  I don’t know. […]

No-sew cord cover & chandelier re-do (Getting ready for Bunco week! )

August 6, 2012 11 Comments

Do you play bunco?  Do you know what it is?  (It surprises me how many people don’t know what bunco is…)  Basiclly, it’s a group of 12 women who play a dice game together. We eat dinner, drink wine, and occasionally roll dice and keep score to win prizes.  (Husbands of bunco playing wives often […]

The world’s easiest Glue-Gun table runner.

October 27, 2011 26 Comments

Yep.  Seriously the easiest table runner ever. Step 1. Find two long scraps of fabric. Match up the pattern and hot glue a seam. You could use fusible webbing too, but then you’d have to find your iron. (Seriously, if the wrinkles don’t come out with a spritz of water and a quick tumble in […]

How to temporarily recover furniture cushions

…. well, temporarily. Here’s the situation:   I love our dog, but she isn’t too nice to our outdoor furniture.  We have a set that is super comfy, but she has gotten up onto the cushions to sleep.  That has made them dingy and a little thread-bare in places. We host Thanksgiving and Mother’s Day Brunch […]

No-sew curtain panels.

March 31, 2011 64 Comments

Let me say this out of the gate: I can sew, I just usually choose not to. (OK, I almost ALWAYS choose not to.) I sew with a glue gun. (Don’t you judge me.) I don’t usually buy pre-made curtain panels. I found a great discount fabric store where I can get gorgeous fabrics anywhere […]
