DIY Life

Are you tired of going into your bedroom and seeing that boring bed? Who can get a good night of sleep in that bed, right? We like to have color and spice in our lives and since we spend so much time in the bedroom, we often get bored with the routine and the sameness of it all. I am speaking from personal experience here.

I love change. I am sick of looking at the same things all the time. I have a very beautiful headboard, but lately I have become very dissatisfied with it. Yeah, go figure. Instead of staying bored with my expensive headboard, I think I'll make a slipcover for it.

What a long, strange Toolstravaganza it's been. Thirty days of tools and supplies for crafters, woodworkers, computer builders, renovators, knitters and now something for the sewing crowd. Four prizes in one package, in fact. First up: a Smart Kit Foldaway Sewing Kit, a nice little travel kit or mending kit. Next, a Mini Rex Cordless Sewing Machine. The Mini Rex is the smallest sewing machine you can get that will sew a double-stitch, just like a conventional sewing machine. Speaking of conventional sewing machines, the third and fourth prizes for today are linked: a Singer 7442 80-stitch sewing machine and matching cover. The 7442 features 80 stitch functions with 28 stitch patterns, 2 styles of 1-step buttonholes and a built-in needle threader.
