From Duvet to Tablecloth

Last Sunday when I spent 4 hours working in the attic, I came across lots of things I had forgotten I even had.

I found a quilt and pillow shams to redo our bedroom, white fabric for new bedroom curtains, and some great vintage tablecloths of my mother's.

I also found a denim duvet cover from KC's college days and knew just how I would use it.

 I laid out my favorite white tablecloth on top of the duvet, cut around the tablecloth, hemmed the edge and VOILA! - I have a new tablecloth.

When I cut out the tablecloth, I ended up with 2 pieces and enough scraps to make a second tablecloth with a ruffled edge.

It was a beautiful sunny day so I set the table in garden using my fun new polka dot flatware.

 The blue bucket was hiding in the attic and it was full of shells.

Steve barbecued sword fish and we sat in the garden enjoying the evening.

Tomorrow's project is new bedroom curtains.

And, creating a birdbath out of this rusted bucket.

Fun projects . . .  free projects . . . using what I have.

What will I find the next time I go up to the attic?
