More arts and crafts…

I’m loving Fabric Mart. They have Hawaiian print upholstery fabric for $8.99 a yard! That’s really, really cheap. Wal-mart, the next cheapest fabric outlet in Honolulu is $12.99 a yard.  I took advantage of the bargain prices, bought 6 yards of fabric and covered my brothers old hand me down couch. The new and improved couch lives in our new outdoor sitting area.

The couch is pretty old, and the cushions are a very faded orange-red.

Elton helping me make couch cushions. He likes to lay on the fabric while I sew. He looks really comfortable!

A close up of the fabric I picked. I actually have 2 extra yards of fabric; I think I’ll use it to make some bolsters for the arm rest.
