School Library Chair Makeover.

The clown wig from Savers has been dismantled.
They have been sewn into spiral loops and hot glued onto the spay painted twigs. Grass cardboard templates have been cut out and are ready to use.

This is my original pattern design for the Lorax. My design tip that will save you time, money and paper. How I work is by using free cardboard from your groceries, (I also have friends who save me theirs). It is easy to cut and is recyclable. When I am happy with my shapes I then place them onto A4 paper and trace. If the pieces over lap use a different coloured pen. Scan it.
This is now saved onto your computer and it can be easily be made to the size you want it to be. You add the seam allowances after. My favourite tool to use for enlarging is called PosteRazor. this is the link.

This is just a teaser of the things I am making for the chair as I want to keep it a surprise for the school and will then post the finished item then.

Wow, I cannot believe that it is over a week since I last blogged, Where did that time go? This is just a sneak peek at the chair in progress, it is coming along. My daughter and her hubby came down from Bathurst on Friday to go to a wedding on Saturday and left to go home on Sunday, a very quick visit, So good to chat with her face to face and to give her a real hug.
I have been shopping on ebay for supplies, I needed this and got it for $8 for 25 metres.
then I needed velcro, so back on ebay after checking out Savers first and not finding any, well you won't believe this but I bought the lot from one place only 8 minutes away from home.
plus eight and a bit rolls of webbing for $24. More than enough for the project on hand and for the rest of my life too! It does not matter that the loops and the hooks do not match, they won't be seen. I am thinking big here, moveable scenery and costuming applications just for a start.
