A Make Over

It was time for a makeover this past weekend. 

No,

 I didn't go to the Clinique counter at Macy's

 or the Mary Kay lady didn't come over.

 It wasn't a makeover for me. 

I haven't bothered with any make-up for a

few days because it's been so hot

I'm sure it would run right off my face!

No, it was for my grooven

mauve

cushion on my antique rocker.

Every new mommy needs a rocker, so

I wanted to make over the cushion for

my daughter who's due

in less than 3 weeks.

It took a couple of months to find the right 

fabric to meet her modern IKEA decorating scheme.

But we persevered doing online shopping

and finally found 

Basic Grey's newest

Christmas line from Moda

called Blitzen at

Fat Quarter Shop.

This particular piece of fabric in the line

sure doesn't say Christmas, does it.

She loves it and it fits in

perfectly with her IKEA decor.

It looks sleek and modern.

I even added cording to the edges.

I never liked doing that very much until 

a friend, who taught Bernina classes, said

"Why don't you use the cording foot?"

Dah!

What a difference a foot makes!

When you have the right equipment, 

the job can even be fun.

Well, I wouldn't go that far with

adding cording, but it sure did make

it easier to do.

Now the rocker is ready 

for the new baby and the new mommy

to rock and rock the night away.

Have fun!

Until Next Time-
