While staring at this remnant of Grip Stop fabric I bought at Joann's,
I decided to try a much less expensive solution that worked out really well! I sewed two squares of the fabric of the size I wanted wrong sides together, flipped so that the grippy dots would be on the outside, and top stitched around the edges.
These are the serger and embroidery machine pedals |
and these are for the two sewing machines |
Also happening in the sewing room: I'm trying a new configuration for the sewing machines. The sewing tables are now back-to-back away from the wall rather than against the wall individually. The thought is that I will be able to put the serger and the embroidery machine on the floor for extra space when machine quilting. The back table should provide support for the heavy fabric as I'm sewing. Well, that's the plan. We shall see how that works out!
Yes, that is fabric stored under the table. I really have to stop buying fabric. |
Great thinking outside the square.Thankfully, my pedals are stopped by a basket, so they only have an inch or so of play. And yes, rearranging furniture DEFINITELY counts as housework!!!
ReplyDeleteWell that's pretty clever and a sewing tip I could use! (Anything to tame Damien a little is a good thing!) Moving furniture is totally housework...and exercise!
ReplyDeleteFurniture moving counts as house renovations - that entitles you to dinner out as well!! You could even figure out a way to incorporate a hotel stay - everybody knows you have to move out during renovations :D
ReplyDeleteI guess one advantage to sewing in an ugly dungeon basement room is that my machine pedals don't slide on the cement floor, lol. My machines are positioned so I can face the television as I'm sewing - my favourite machine (surprisingly, now the Babylock) is dead centre with the tv :D
The bags can be used for a book advent (from books you already own or borrowed from the library or new gifts) or any other special gifts to count down to Christmas. learn more
DeleteThat is a good idea, I am very happy to read this article, and I agree with the issues of this post for sewing machine.
