One of my Mother's Day requests was time to sew...so while the oldest dd cleaned up the kitchen after lunch (dh had bought crab cakes) I made the skirt for my laundry tub/counter. I am thrilled to have a sink in my laundry room. The skirt is velcroed to the frame the dh built.
A friend of mine uses dental floss when she gathers fabric...I tried it and was pleased with the result. I'm not sure I would use this method on clothes but it was quick and easy here. I was concerned about breaking the pulling threads due to the weight of the canvas - I zig zagged over the floss and pulled. (If you look closely you can see that I did not rip out the hem seam from the painting cloth I used for fabric...I was on a mission to complete my project and didn't feel it was necessary). There is still some finish work in the laundry room...but we're trying to get the 1/2 bath functional before company arrives.
