Wednesday WIP

Thrifting! Op Shop finds and scraps from my stash. I am hoping to make a card table cubby for a Christmas gift. If it turns out well it will be for a nephew. If it turns out badly my own son will be stuck with it! I have lots of ideas for it, and have drawn several sktches, and was thrilled to find the pefect background fabrics at our local (tiny) op shop. It is only a cheap poly cotton but I was happy to pay $2 for about 5m of fabric in total. Once I was home I went through my scraps and found several smaller pieces in a similar fabric. I was able to get to Spotlight last week and picked up 4 x 0.5m extra colours in similar cheap fabric. I also debated about some more vliseofix for appliquing a few bits onto the cubby, but ended up getting a can of spray adhesive instead. Not sure if this was a good move yet!! I'm pretty sure the spraying will be an outside job, and that our dodgy outdoor table is going to experience another indignity and wind up in a gluey mess...

OMG, fantastic colours - I can see this cubby house!! Great idea - can't wait to see the finished product. I remember playing under tables with a sheet draped over the top when I was a kid and it was so much fun (and entertained for hours!) Great idea for a card table cubby.
