Please don’t get too excited by the golden threading on the ribbon! I tried to keep it as dull as possible, by folding in the shiny side of the synthetic silk.

This is mostly money saving and recycling in action at the same time. I needed some tulle fabric, and I was able to get a pink table-skirt for basically nothing.

I spent some time on removing the seams. The most challenging part was the two layers of tulle sewn together. I nicked the material in one or two places, but after spending some extra time on it, I finished the task successfully.
So now, I am able to proceed with a project that might be a tad too exciting for this community.

    The Joanne’s fabric store gone, we just have to get materials any way we can.

    I saw my neighbor throwing out a couch and asked if I could have the cushions and feet.

    Foam is expensive. Furniture legs expensive. He thought it weird I wanted it. So I told him how much high density foam costs.

      I’m lucky enough that I can leech off Amazon returns - we bave a local auction website for returns. So I paid out of door 1.25 for the table skirt, meanwhile I lost my bid on 3 yard tulle for 6…
      Joanns is such a loss - tho now Michael’s do carry couple of isle worth of fabric. Hobby lobby and Walmart are my other two options - nothing local and family owned existing in my city.
