Trim Uses.

Saturday, November 13th, 2010

We’ve been dang busy in the store trying to catalog, display and price our lovely new trims. Did I mention Julie bought 30,000 pieces! 30,000 little and not so little beauties! And I will let you in on a little secret, she bought 15,000 yards of new fabric yesterday! We don’t have the complete scoop from Julie on the type of fabric etc. but I will let you know when I get the full story.

Back to the trims, here are some uses I compiled.

Around a candle centerpiece or a candle on a mantle

Wedding decor: Head table decor, Guest table centerpieces, Programs, Ring bearer pillow, Flower girl basket, Cake table, Guest book table

I hope to make samples of some of the uses listed and post pictures. Let me know if you think of additional uses. I’m sure I missed some good ones.

P.S. I thought of more

Upholstered furniture accents

Tablecloth for Fall

Thursday, October 7th, 2010

A new tablecloth can add warmth to your kitchen as temperatures fall outside.

This damask would be an elegant choice.

This cotton in gold tones would be a more casual choice.

I love this fall print but it would work better for drapery as it is recommended that it be dry cleaned.

How to make a tablecloth

By an eHow Contributor

Instructions

Measure the tabletop with a yardstick or tape measure.
Determine the desired “drop” of your tablecloth, or the amount of overhang, and add this number plus 1 inch to each of the tabletop dimensions. A standard drop is 8 to 10 inches.
Choose home decorating fabric that’s at least 54 inches wide, in cotton or a cotton-polyester blend. Purchase yardage according to the dimensions you determined in steps 1 and 2.
Prewash and press the fabric.
Lay the fabric out on top of a fabric cutting board, wrong side up. Use the printed guidelines on the board to mark and cut the fabric to the dimensions you determined in steps 1 and 2.
Press each raw fabric edge under 1/2 inch. Press that edge under once more.
Pin the tablecloth hem into place so that the pins are perpendicular to the edges of the fabric.
Use a sewing machine to stitch the tablecloth hem. When you reach a corner, lift the presser foot of the sewing machine and swivel the fabric so that your stitching line remains straight. Keep the needle inserted in the fabric as you reposition it.

Wedding Decor for Krystal

Saturday, September 18th, 2010

My cousin Krystal was married last night. Aren’t they cute?

I decorated the ceiling over the dance floor for my nieces wedding about 5 years ago with fabric from Inweave.

We ditched the disco ball and substituted a hanging bouquet with matching ribbons cascading down. I will do an in-depth post about how to recreate this easy project in a future post.

For Krystal the head table had a row of icicle lights hung on the edge of the table, covered with a gathered skirt of white tablecloth fabric. That was overlaid with an embroidered organza. The backdrop was swagged with the embroidered organza as well.

It was a very pretty wedding.

The Fabric in Angela’s Wedding

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

I wanted to show you how we used Inweave fabric to decorate for my niece Angela’s wedding reception last year.

All the tables had white coverings as did the chairs. Make your own from 72″ tablecloth fabric from Inweave.

We used a square of lace under the centerpieces on the guest tables.

The cake table had red organza under the black lace.

This was the head table.

Behind the head table was a photo we shot of Nate and Angela a few days before the wedding. The photo was swagged with a flower garland and embroidered organza from Inweave.

Floating candles were placed on the head table.

The candy table was very popular, it was draped in black faux silk with red organza piled on top.

If you’ve decorated for a wedding would you share your photos? We would love to see them! Email your pictures to inweavefabric@hotmail.com along with permission to post them.

This is Grace, she was Angela’s flower girl. I hope to do a post on how to create a headboard for a girls bed made of fabric flower petals just like the one we made for Grace and her sisters.
