WARNING: This post contains crafting and drinking. The owner of this blog does not promote mixing the two on a regular basis. She just felt it would make shooting a video a lot easier. Instead it just made it take a really long time and added some extra embarassment.
So I had this idea... "How To Happy Hour". Basically its an excuse to drink and get projects off my list. I would give a DIY video demo of some basics, and/or whatever people wanted to see and serve cocktails while doing so. My friend Cheryle was kind enough to join me for this one since she is a great sewer and me not so much.
We decided to whip up a pillow with an invisible zipper because that's harder than it looks and most of us could use a refresher. Adding alcohol to the mix seemed like a good idea. We did have fun, but I had to edit most of the video away because we got a little too chatty and distracted. I think I glazed over a few times as Cheryle was explaining cutting on a bias. The end result is embarassing and I can't believe I am actually going to hit "Publish Post". Not to sure how easy these directions are to follow, but we had a good time. We just need to be more consise and stay focused. I promise to make any future videos much shorter and less inebriated.
Post a comment below of any other DIYs you'd like to see and you are entered to win this weeks pillow creation...
Did you paint that zebra print work table in the picture? I would LOVE to know how to do that.
ReplyDeleteI just bought the same fabric to make throw pillows! Got it in the mail yesterday. Now I'm thinking yellow piping might be a must. I'm not ambitious enough for zippers, but I am ambitious enough for mojitos!
ReplyDeleteDanika,

ReplyDeleteToo much fun for two girls all at once :) Love it.
ReplyDeleteI would love it if you can share some really easy slip covers, especially for the back of chairs.
I can sew, barely, but I get so frustrated. Easy projects that are quick to do are my cup of tea.
