I am continuing to play with my camera and I just love this shot because it SCREAMS me! Why? Because sewing has been such a major part of my life. Just in case your are new to The DIY Spot, you can read about that here. Anyway, I purchased this Featherweight Singer machine for $25.00 [...]

A few months ago, I helped my friend, Andrea, cover her dining room chairs and she, in turn, recovered her friend Ellen’s chairs. All I did was supply the electric staple gun and upholstery tools.
