Skirting The Issue

While I was putting some panels together for my sunroom {and sighing because I have six more to do}, I decided to play with the glue a little bit by hemming the toile fabric I want to use as a skirt around my sewing table. 

I did it before I went to bed, so it would be dry in the morning.  I used this stuff.  I like it! 

Using my staple gun, I attached the top {unfinished edge} underneath the table top.  I kind of mooshed the fabric together as I went and stapled. 

I’m sorry these pictures are so dark, but the lighting is horrible in this area of the condo and there is no natural light back here.  I’m working on getting better ceiling fixtures and that lamp will be called into use, too.

I had two widths of fabric that I had meet in the center.

This way, I can do this.   And store stuff underneath but still be able to get to it fairly easily.

As soon as I find my yard stick, I am thinking of putting a finishing nail on each end of the table top edge and putting my yard stick there.  It would work great to store it, it would be right there if I have to measure something while I’m sewing, plus it will be a little bit of a decorative element while it sits there.

If I had done two more widths of the fabric, it would have been quite ruffley looking, but this works just fine for me.

The lampshade doesn’t know it yet, but she’s next for a makeover!
