Halloween Costumes

We likes to have a theme for our Halloween costume. This year we were Curious George, Man in the Yellow Hat, and Banana. I bought the monkey costume at DI for $3.00. Then I bought some white pants at DI as well and dyed them yellow and use one of my husband's old white shirts and did the same thing. Our Walmart cut back on their fabric so the only stiff fabric they had was white, so I thought I could dye it as well but it wouldn't absorb the dye. I ended up spray painting the fabric. I was worried that it would rub of on stuff but it did. I got my husband's hat at the dollar store and painted it yellow and put a black ribbon around it. It was an easy year for Halloween costumes and they were fun to make.

Redid some couches

My husband's parents gave us a couch and my sister-in-law gave us a love seat. I went to a Home Fabric store. They had some fabric for 3.00 yard. I redid the two couches for 65 bucks. It was a fun project and I couldn't have done it without my sister-in-law and my husband they were a lot of help. The first thing we did is took all of the old fabric off. We got it all down to the wooden frame. We started with the bottom, then the arms, then the front of the back, and at last the back. Then we used the old cushions as a pattern so we knew what size to make them. That is it! It was a lot of work and it took two days to cover it and two days to cover the cushions. Well here are the pictures! Tell me what you think!
