Sewing Fun!

So, about two months ago I found out that the Wal-mart in Bloomington has a huge selection of fabrics for $1, so I went a little crazy and bought 20 yards... the first time, then I went back and bought 8 more, I had some grand Ideas of what to do with all of it and so far my plans are falling into action! :)
I started with a couch cover, the original couch covering is mustard yellow and has survived Paul's family of eight kids, two parents and a cat, not to mention that it has sat countless buns of friends and other family members, and yes even mine before I was a member of the Tharp clan. So, needless to say it needed a face lift, so I took the measurments, drew up the pattern on a piece of paper, started cutting, pinning a sewing and soon it was done! Well almost, I need to sew two more sides, but it is presentable. So that was my first grand project and it only cost me $8 to make!
