Just Call Me Hilde!

Picture this a scarecrow in a field with the fannel shirt and baggy jeans hanging on him.  Or a little kid in his older brothers’s snow suit!  Well this was how my chairs with their new $9. covers looked on Thanksgiving morning.  I had worried when I bought them that they would be too small.  But no, the opposite turned out to be the visual condition.  Everyone was very careful at dinner not to step on them or pull the chair out and rip them.  But this was going to have to be corrected and before Christmas Eve.

Today I washed them in hot water to see if they would shrink!.  Nope I guess that just because they are not expensive doesn’t necessarily mean they are of poor quality!  So on to step two of my plan!

How to do it?  Why like Hilde on Trading Spaces.  Turn them inside out,  place them on the chair, and start pinning!  Oh wow what a kick! I never thought I could alter something like that or that it would be so darn easy!

But as you can see I did it and I’m proud as punch!

I work at crocheting, knitting, making ornaments, and other projects. With my husband I can 300 or 400 half pints of jam, chutney, plus cabbage relish, pickled beets and cinnamon fruit every summer to give away.
