REVEAL DAY!!

My husband enjoys this "less than awesome" store . We actually go there pretty often. The store carries all sorts of things he needs on a regular basis for work and have, probably, the best prices around.
 I usually just sit in the car while he runs in and gets what he needs. This time I decided to go in.
 Bribing me with cheap paint brushes actually worked. He wasn't kidding. I can buy paint brushed there for $4!! Good ones. After filling up my buggy with much needed paint brushes (I'm not one to clean out my brushes, I just throw them away after using....I know....I know...)
 I glanced around at what might catch my eye.
I looked and thought  to myself, "hhmmm look at that fabric. It looks identical to the fabric I have picked out for my sofa." I grabbed up this bulky package . Ran to my husband ,asking," Doesn't this look EXACTLY  like the fabric for the sofa" Thinking maybe I was delusional from wandering ENDLESSLY around this lethargic inducing store.

 He said,"yup, sure does."

Nuff said for me!

 Are you kidding me? I found the fabric I needed to cover my couch for only $30???? Really?



Sure did. What was originally going to cost me well over a hundred bucks....I got for around $30. aaahhh...I love this store. 
 Giggle.

So that brings me to.....

You all, I'm sure, remember "Drug behind a truck" . Oh that poor couch.  Who could forget. In case you did.... click here.



Ick!! Makes me sick just looking at it.

I'm so excited to tell you I have FINISHED the
 O-SO-FAB-U-LOUS
slip cover!

Isn't she a beauty?!  Aww. I'm so proud.
Now, I didn't provide you gals with a tutorial.Because I am by FAR no professional and I wanted to be spared of all the criticism on my techniques.


Grin.

I even made her a little skirt. Isn't that sweet?




Isn't that amazing. Now I am the self proclaimed "budget friendly designer"

Happy slipcovering ~Momma

I walk past this couch {in our upstairs gameroom} and think this EVERY time I look at it..."maybe I should work on that this weekend..." And have yet to start it...LOL YOU DID A FABULOUS JOB! Maybe I'll start mine this weekend...LOL
