The Easiest Veggies to Grow in Your Garden

Mine were actually a bit crusty and rusty too but you’ll see that it didn’t matter at all.

Instead of marking off my measurements, I like to iron a crease and just cut along the crease.I find it keeps everything neat and tidy and saves me from trying (and failing) to draw a straight line.. For one cord cover, I had 2 strips of fabric that measured a total of 1.5 times the length of my cord when placed end to end.

This gave me the ruffly effect.Each strip was 5 inches wide to make the cord cover 2 inches wide and allow a 1/2 inch for the seams.So if my cord was 60 inches long, that means that each strip was 45 inches by 5 inches.. Once I had my strips all cut out.

I ironed a little fold over to finish up the ends of each piece and sewed them all up.. Then I folded the whole thing in half, then I sewed along the edge using black thread because I didn’t feel like changing the bobbins, then one of my bobbins ran out halfway through so I had to change it anyway.I put another black in for consistency.

Why I needed to be consistently the wrong color, I don’t know, but it just felt right.. Once everything was all sewn up, I turned all 4 mini covers right side out and put them onto my cords!

I love my overly dramatic lamp cords.So here’s the hairbrush I was working on.

This is Kennedy’s hairbrush that she’s probably had for about 8 years now and she refuses to use any other.She has this long, thick, wavy hair that just has a knack for getting itself tangled in knots and she’s always insisted that any other hairbrush just hurts her head.

So I really have no choice but to keep cleaning this magical brush and hope it lasts us at least another 8 years!.I clean the brush out quickly after each use, but of course there’s a lot of stuff that gets stuck deep down in there that needs a little extra help.
