Repurposed Suede Jacket as Seat Cover

I found a use for yet another 49 cent item from Salvation Army. This seat cover is cut from the back of a suede jacket which had three seams, but looks good on the chair. Since the jacket had soiling at the cuffs and collar, as well as a ticket showing it was just dry cleaned, it couldn't have been worn. Hmm, I have a red suede jacket in my closet in the same condition...

Fabric Cube Bin

This fabric storage bin is made from two blouses bought at the Salvation Army.  It is the same as the burlap coffee bag ones in a previous blog about the book, Reinvention. The back inside wall is from a blouse front with a pocket.

I stitched 1/4" up each outside corner seam after constructing, using the Garnet Hill inspiration, for greater strength as these are just lightweight cotton fabrics, but with the cotton batting inside, they stand up fairly well.

My plans are to make three coordinating bins to put under a low table in a bedroom.

Free Prints from Library of Congress

This picture was downloaded from the Library of Congress website.  After seeing an idea in Martha Stewart Living's April 2013 issue, I made sure a picture could actually be printed from the website.

The magazine's idea was to have clipboards mounted on your wall to which you can display a changing display, whether it be art from a website or your children's art. They had three rows of three clipboards with black and white architectural images.  It is suggested to use cardstock; I used what I had on hand-a notebook divider.
