Hello blog readers. I hope you’re all having a good summer.
I wanted some rolling chairs for my sewing room.
I didn’t like the retail prices of new chairs.
So we looked at a local thrift store ran by Habitat.
We bought these 2 for $10 and $2.
The green one was in great shape but the other one doesn’t match and was missing the back rest cover.
So I looked in my fabric and found some linen like fabric that is a very close green.
I sewed a simple slip cover for the back rest and stapled on a seat cover.
There the chairs are in my sewing room.
I do use both sewing machines.
One sews knits really well.
I prefer sewing so the older machine and it sews woven fabric just fine so both machines get used.
I've been the "new" chairs for a week or 2 and really like them
can you see the pink fuzz on the chair?
It's from 2 wraparound towels I made for a granddaughter to take to camp.
and from 3 towel ponchos I sewed at the request of my daughter.
they were just beach towels with a hole cut in the center that I finished with bias tape and the sides partially sewn so the towels stay in place when wearing.
blogging problems-
here is supposed to be a very cute little guy modeling a poncho towel-
I'll add the photo to my next post.
CVS this week
not a huge haul but big enough I think the savings add up-
I spent less than a dollar cash for the above and got money for my next weeks trip too.
If you can't tell from the photo, I bought a bag of laundry pods, 3 packs mens razors, 2 lipsticks and 2 toothpaste for $0.92.
if your looking for ways to spend less on home and personal care products, I really recommend CVS or Walgreens or RiteAid or whatever store is available to you. They are all have good deals if you don't mind spending a little effort to work out the best deals for yourself and then use your store earnings to mostly pay for the next deal and so on.
