Much of what happens to us actually has nothing to do with us. What do I mean? How someone chooses to treat you says everything about their character and nothing about yours. Their behavior isn't personal. So. That gives us permission to stop taking things personally.

A great scarf for super cold climates. We are at 23 degrees today at 8:10 AM and I am hoping for snow for Christmas this year. It doesn't happen every year so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!<br />

There's just something about old hymns that resonate within my soul. I think it's because I feel connected to the church of the ages, all those Christians who have gone on before us. I think about multiple generations of my family who must have sang this hymn every Thanksgiving.<br />
<br />
I've decided I need more hymns in my life. Not just SINGING them, but reading the rich words.<br />
<br />
I have another printable for you! This .png printable is free for personal use only. It is a full (no white frame edge) 8x10. Just right click, save and print.<br />

I sewed an elastic waist chiffon sparkly circle skirt for my Lil Chick to wear for her garden fairy costume. Oh what fun she has had twirling around and around!<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq4nL3uKZyCzpT4xMHNJ_4JjsNYeuQ7jTNBYRVf5SOXk89AB4D4TXDAl5yq6noD60f2SmjI56-b0l2MjF2OdzpO3dDThBY7BJhxDKIg7nZ-zqPDlFPJLu43CncFTi9kfkzvbrrGWaCCjow/s1600/Emmy+Skirt+Collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq4nL3uKZyCzpT4xMHNJ_4JjsNYeuQ7jTNBYRVf5SOXk89AB4D4TXDAl5yq6noD60f2SmjI56-b0l2MjF2OdzpO3dDThBY7BJhxDKIg7nZ-zqPDlFPJLu43CncFTi9kfkzvbrrGWaCCjow/s640/Emmy+Skirt+Collage.jpg" width="638" /></a>Circle skirts are so much fun and once you figure out your measurements it's a cinch! I followed the tutorial at <a href="http://www.ikatbag.com/2009/07/summer-skirts-5-circular-skirt-and.html">Ikatbag.com</a>. It is complete with good directions, diagrams, and a template. <br />
<br />
Also, I have been overly enjoying tagging anything I sew with my new woven labels. (See above in the bottom right photo.) After working really hard on a project: seam ripping errant threads, remeasuring, fitting, taking in, letting out, trimming etc...it feels like such an accomplishment to tack that label on! I love them! <br />
<br />
Happy Costume sewing! I better get going, I still need to finish a bat costume for Bubbalu!<br />

<br />
I really decided to abandon the idea of color matching the entire trailer and instead customized the bunks to each kiddo. Here is what the trailer bunks looked like right from the dealership:<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwtisYGOEoUVs10p94nd2chr8usTgQFV0FZeb1ziGnmT4fjtL7jgnAdozzem7sNbmZdB0GcJbujdpk5NJQY36Jk255ph7ADaD547KS_1af0eyULw8xJgxh6d5IiclOTmZztp_vBv9sFTm4/s1600/Before+Bunks.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwtisYGOEoUVs10p94nd2chr8usTgQFV0FZeb1ziGnmT4fjtL7jgnAdozzem7sNbmZdB0GcJbujdpk5NJQY36Jk255ph7ADaD547KS_1af0eyULw8xJgxh6d5IiclOTmZztp_vBv9sFTm4/s640/Before+Bunks.jpg" width="640" /></a><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;">Rather boring, pretty dull. Ruffly curtain in hunter green leaf patter...well. I WANTED to burn it but kept it for possible future resale purposes. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;">There was too much beige going on in those bunks. I like COLOR. Back to fabric shopping! I still used premier prints fabric because I LOVE it. I had a few ideas of fabric patterns and combinations but let each kid pick their color and pattern.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;">Bubbalu chose a navy and orange chevron and coordinating stripes print, Lil Chick picked chocolate brown and light pink elephants and a coordinating polka dots print:</span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPmxPd-V794AuzgZLBcRo3ea_2BJmXQhoFNIcyr1lpaiBvqtctsUZ6Gstpk40YdaqpTHS5BDyGxGsrz7LzPxP7AVmwpFMBwwbgZw2P1Q8LCu_b9MM2VSaiQmRO5D_iNyb1sJGTfmUYMchU/s1600/Trailer+Fabrics+kids.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPmxPd-V794AuzgZLBcRo3ea_2BJmXQhoFNIcyr1lpaiBvqtctsUZ6Gstpk40YdaqpTHS5BDyGxGsrz7LzPxP7AVmwpFMBwwbgZw2P1Q8LCu_b9MM2VSaiQmRO5D_iNyb1sJGTfmUYMchU/s640/Trailer+Fabrics+kids.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Yeah. Those don't really match. At all. Oh well! It's COLOR.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;">Also, I decided that in order for me to be able to get away with sneaking into the kitchen area of the trailer at night and eating chocolate necessitated some sort of privacy screen or curtain.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;">I used a tension rod and these little stick and screw on holders designed for shower curtain rods to hang a polka dot curtain:</span><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEJioDVjxex-RR0WXHMd_X9MRoNV4ugSIjINOJX8ykBZnpch0dVeNE2AIGAUVog2kX60jHbf64iMM0wDOwGTsywK5TIVcY1OoGZyCRPhhxwt3xbF4ichws6R_n3ZWzqdX5tispyutOH_c9/s1600/trailer+bunk+curtain+collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEJioDVjxex-RR0WXHMd_X9MRoNV4ugSIjINOJX8ykBZnpch0dVeNE2AIGAUVog2kX60jHbf64iMM0wDOwGTsywK5TIVcY1OoGZyCRPhhxwt3xbF4ichws6R_n3ZWzqdX5tispyutOH_c9/s640/trailer+bunk+curtain+collage.jpg" width="472" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">I made a tie-back thingy out of the chevron multicolor fabric and velcro, then just screwed it into the side of the bunk bed. Is this a permanent fixture? With my kids? Probably not. How do I know this? Because they have already hung on the curtain and pulled it down.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;">Twice.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;">So, the picture above is ALMOST the same, just imagine that the curtain tension rod has a large dent in and is no longer straight. Then yes, it's the same.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;">For Bubbalu's bunk I make him reversible curtains and valance so that I can change it out if I ever feel like it...and bonus, I didn't think about or notice it until after I was done with the redo but you can see them from the outside and they are cute!</span><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCuO2mzrtdSn_6W3v7MM4qpwT0QF45DqdEemJ9LtQcpy38cxuW2DNkC8IZskrZ4LWmIVMySqLGuJ7b4yqmBpWdiYamrpMGpa2xUufJ3InEuoO3aAmxK38GKL41Hl_sRJm_-AKpyQoL9fG2/s1600/Bubbalubunkcollage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCuO2mzrtdSn_6W3v7MM4qpwT0QF45DqdEemJ9LtQcpy38cxuW2DNkC8IZskrZ4LWmIVMySqLGuJ7b4yqmBpWdiYamrpMGpa2xUufJ3InEuoO3aAmxK38GKL41Hl_sRJm_-AKpyQoL9fG2/s640/Bubbalubunkcollage.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Lil Chick got pink, pink and some more pink. And some chocolate brown. And polka dots. And cute elephants. Same deal as Bubbalu, reversible everything:</span><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtNu44aNeMR8tUeguHmpaZFn80v0kWxxD_7dJgNtlY43lrmRuX64gkZVDku33Xoe-8b16qxGXbwkPKP5LfH6wVBbmCZ9OyKjAe51ty7Zhb2mUfycrR6IGOLFncL-FXLCynkjmdQqe8FXlC/s1600/PinkBunkAcollage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtNu44aNeMR8tUeguHmpaZFn80v0kWxxD_7dJgNtlY43lrmRuX64gkZVDku33Xoe-8b16qxGXbwkPKP5LfH6wVBbmCZ9OyKjAe51ty7Zhb2mUfycrR6IGOLFncL-FXLCynkjmdQqe8FXlC/s640/PinkBunkAcollage.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="font-size: large;">I also decided to do sheets and blanket instead of sleeping bags because I envisioned kids wiggling during sleep and those slippery sleeping bags sliding off the bunks onto the floor with the kiddos in them! So. I cut down sheets and made a custom bunk sized fitted bottom sheet and top sheet with a fitted end (so it would NOT pull out of the bottom).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;">I was out shopping for trailer stuff and saw the madras plaid and the pink and brown polka dot blanket and pillowcase sets on super clearance! WITH an extra % off coupon....Score!! I was shocked - Lil Chick's blanket is a PERFECT match color and polka dot size/spacing! I was so excited!</span><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioxKAaILBbCs8S8tIhGnTICRdCOeXjXGDatRRd9N2mFbU5_IFp3x8deJo7_32KwCW8VQejqggv778r6awbXWmtXumJ1a8gejsLQ0usFqk3Pl22NxIyae-8N0tLt_TtuFxL8H7v1lpTJqDq/s1600/IMG_2653edits.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioxKAaILBbCs8S8tIhGnTICRdCOeXjXGDatRRd9N2mFbU5_IFp3x8deJo7_32KwCW8VQejqggv778r6awbXWmtXumJ1a8gejsLQ0usFqk3Pl22NxIyae-8N0tLt_TtuFxL8H7v1lpTJqDq/s640/IMG_2653edits.jpg" width="432" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="font-size: large;">I'm thrilled with the infusion of color and each kiddo feels like they have their own special space. Add in some tote bins in the very back of the bunks and you have a mini playroom as well! The kids LOVE playing or reading in their bunks. And Mama gets to sneak chocolate late at night. Everyone is happy happy happy! :) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;">So, here is the official Before and After shot of the bunk bed portion of my Travel Trailer Makeover:</span><br />
</span><br />

Goodness gracious it only took me like 14 months to do 9 posts! Yay me! I should get a bloggy professional procrastinator award or something.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;">Maybe I can make it an even 10 and do the full trailer walk-through. Yep. I'll do that. In a few months or so.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;">THANK YOU for joining me on my Travel Trailer Makeover Series! I hope you have been inspired to add a little sass and custom style and COLOR into your travel trailer or RV!</span><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

Awesome jewel tones with pops of bright colors perfect for matching and coordinating with fall colors...and I love jewel tones. They go with my coloring very well. Pastels? Mustard? Oh no. I look HORRID. But saturated deep teals, oranges, greens, blues? Oh yes.<br />

After spending WAY too much money on pumpkins last fall I decided I should try to grow them myself this year. My parents have a lot that they will be building a new house on later this year and have a huge garden and extra space. In exchange for weeding they said I could plant pumpkin starts. Sweet! I planted two varieties: Jack o Lantern and Pumpkin Pie.<br />
<br />
Well:<br />

We had PERFECT growing conditions this summer: Super warm, humid, just enough rain...and lots of fertilizer. We were so excited to see our efforts rewarded with a large amount of perfect pumpkins! It was SO fun to go and harvest a bunch of them and decorate my front porch.<br />

Easiest way to move a large amount of small to mid size pumpkins? Tossing them :)<br />

YES we plan to carve some of the big ones in a few weeks....YES I plan to roast some of the pie pumpkins and freeze the filling (no canned pumpkin needed here!)....and YES I like my front porch looking like a pumpkin patch advertisement.<br />

As of this past Sunday it is officially FALL!<br />
<br />
I love the colder nights and the foggy mornings. And of course the cozy clothes: Scarves, boots, sweaters.<br />
<br />
And pumpkins. I have a THING for pumpkins :)<br />
<br />
I made up a fun free printable for you today! It is a square but could be cropped to your desired frame size.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL2rftbUpzltSKToWbAdqQ7-sc1Z9vRMrPz55mSKos3tmSGxWVNVixSTSYD88w7cAC5E096Wc_1lVrSxhKmFIPYvlFsnSP_teffqLOSccAe7MolHFkvTXA5bLcZjmXxfSUlJsws5ctdD8k/s1600/IMG_1996.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL2rftbUpzltSKToWbAdqQ7-sc1Z9vRMrPz55mSKos3tmSGxWVNVixSTSYD88w7cAC5E096Wc_1lVrSxhKmFIPYvlFsnSP_teffqLOSccAe7MolHFkvTXA5bLcZjmXxfSUlJsws5ctdD8k/s640/IMG_1996.JPG" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Just like the <a href="http://vintagedutchgirl.blogspot.com/2012/06/travel-trailer-makeover-part-1-shower.html" target="_blank">shower curtain project</a>, they are attached at the top with glide tracks and glide tape sewn to the top edge of the fabric.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;">Glide tape is flexible plastic strips with little clips every 6 inches or so:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCIP5gjPo0HPpKDEp-T89rTuflPdrMK2sjpsq6WWdePILyq40R9SI2MjxqLb9nU2f7CfciLxWAYWlluygXwuGGmeDe7es2nSsptKFSooKyAb4ozuV-MjKC0dWbs9Oy6ViAYOryv84npSbh/s1600/IMG_2384.JPG" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCIP5gjPo0HPpKDEp-T89rTuflPdrMK2sjpsq6WWdePILyq40R9SI2MjxqLb9nU2f7CfciLxWAYWlluygXwuGGmeDe7es2nSsptKFSooKyAb4ozuV-MjKC0dWbs9Oy6ViAYOryv84npSbh/s640/IMG_2384.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So, I pulled out the fabric and got to work. The curtains were simple to design, just rectangles with hemmed edges. I just copied the original beige curtain measurements. Actually, I added in more yardage width wise so it hung nicer and not so stretched flat.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;">For attaching the glide tape: Using a zipper foot on your sewing machine, set your (hefty upholstery size) needle to a side position:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMaShPHG_Jz3SZT8U3ttq3HU2hQXWIbdZXJ4D7Fc9VQbjOyImjUVhzBwmF2U_CID9Rluhe4N3JLgaBjp59FFjIMvOzqsfr0-7opTgiLIfmXEwQiB7thUX5g3iAtiNMIEEVYVQZmQu7y4uO/s1600/Sideneedle+arrow.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMaShPHG_Jz3SZT8U3ttq3HU2hQXWIbdZXJ4D7Fc9VQbjOyImjUVhzBwmF2U_CID9Rluhe4N3JLgaBjp59FFjIMvOzqsfr0-7opTgiLIfmXEwQiB7thUX5g3iAtiNMIEEVYVQZmQu7y4uO/s640/Sideneedle+arrow.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">and sew along the top and bottom of the plastic glide tape strip directly onto the top inside of your fabric:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimtZA1mNIyfP0GUjXGmlmMUU-ZfvNz-0UcH9QFY8NpKC0zMDcPCCrhry5K0SlQetjagXTZX1dYvy_PrSqNncWommyw0iRxD88oZt6XM3qKbCAi7MVfpSws9nfOTV0zGC9ZNeSA6wO6Yu5e/s1600/IMG_2396.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimtZA1mNIyfP0GUjXGmlmMUU-ZfvNz-0UcH9QFY8NpKC0zMDcPCCrhry5K0SlQetjagXTZX1dYvy_PrSqNncWommyw0iRxD88oZt6XM3qKbCAi7MVfpSws9nfOTV0zGC9ZNeSA6wO6Yu5e/s640/IMG_2396.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Aaaaaaand.....Done!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I just snapped the holders into place along the glide strips. See how the extra yardage made those pretty ruffles? (Please don't tell my hubby I said "pretty" and "ruffles" to describe Lumi our trailer in any way shape or form.)</span><br />

Oh yes, that couch. This was the biggest challenge in my Travel Trailer Makeover project.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Which is why it took me, oh, about 8 months (*ahem* 11 months) to get back to my blogging series. It was THAT traumatic. (NOT because I got lazy and distracted with other things...)<br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is the reminder Before pic, complete with diamond upholstery on the couch cushion back, front kick flap, curtain cornice thingy, dinette cushions as well as the lovely wallpaper border:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTcWQu0Yr3ao6TpbSk9bJgbzmfHvb2HTRnhihdH8blEAXq2CQzPuguoPlG0mGJ1P8eW90W4dexBj6ickU-09kazmA6MnTs8vMuSOSaru-Q1cpgmZ2O7T6xSDslvfYwKh85CDAS2uK8IKHw/s1600/Sofa+before.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="552" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTcWQu0Yr3ao6TpbSk9bJgbzmfHvb2HTRnhihdH8blEAXq2CQzPuguoPlG0mGJ1P8eW90W4dexBj6ickU-09kazmA6MnTs8vMuSOSaru-Q1cpgmZ2O7T6xSDslvfYwKh85CDAS2uK8IKHw/s640/Sofa+before.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And yes, ALL off that diamond pattern fabric is sayonara (Good riddance) :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This couch project took a lot of fabric up because I needed to match up both the chevron zig zag pattern AND the color. OY. AND I miscut and had a piece upside down (the wrong color pattern). I had to change it, I knew it would bug me forEVAH<span style="color: #990000;"><i>.</i></span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I made the bottom kick pleat flap thingy first. It's quite simple, just serged on the top, hemmed on the bottom and screwed into place on top of the couch base board :</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDJgO-HQXQKoTSrLQBeklRPzjxM5n8x3Oh2tOyeGtOV1vCossXYHTxYUHvFJoVJyU92Qc-qClWK9-nzyn_FA6P1vK9_Es2_G12U9Gs73Mx9SL2nS2Jj6KHectuli705cKnB4qX5ibYr4EJ/s1600/couch+kick+flap.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDJgO-HQXQKoTSrLQBeklRPzjxM5n8x3Oh2tOyeGtOV1vCossXYHTxYUHvFJoVJyU92Qc-qClWK9-nzyn_FA6P1vK9_Es2_G12U9Gs73Mx9SL2nS2Jj6KHectuli705cKnB4qX5ibYr4EJ/s640/couch+kick+flap.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I had to piece two LONG fabric widths together to match up the entire zig zag and to make the kick pleat which YES I wanted to do. It just made the whole thing look way more "finished".</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Held open (ignore my not quite perfect lining up on the inside): </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Making/designing the couch slip cover took a LOT of measuring, remeasuring and then measuring again for good measure.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I sketched out a rough pattern based on the couch fabric pieces and measured like crazy.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This is what the couch slipcover ended up looking like pre-sewing assembly:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDKcbmVCLZb5wJdbQPk0P3Ct9PgvmAyqj0s0N-7G8PHwk-yUxU8LFJxdwCmHvCxTd0eLroe8u4tn4YRjFn1_eE5WHuLzEXleOQcaQ-kI_wsrg8j9wtcvqVVLtK6C2a9a-gWLremddrRK1_/s1600/Sofa+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDKcbmVCLZb5wJdbQPk0P3Ct9PgvmAyqj0s0N-7G8PHwk-yUxU8LFJxdwCmHvCxTd0eLroe8u4tn4YRjFn1_eE5WHuLzEXleOQcaQ-kI_wsrg8j9wtcvqVVLtK6C2a9a-gWLremddrRK1_/s640/Sofa+1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Each piece was labeled with where on the couch is went and which was was UP. Also displayed in this pic a pile of toys. Because recovering a travel trailer couch takes time and I got super lazy with housework. Just keeping it real :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">After plotting the entire thing out, it was stitch time. I systematically pieced the entire thing together using a tight stitch on my serger. I wanted it super strong!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Next up, take the slip cover out to the trailer and fit it over the original fabric on the couch:</span><br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxnjfKZUlSSEdZ0OIIY4Iyk8kVW7YVoYVoMxKqzjfGqAcVsZsiajsL3roR-dyb9pZlWn32hkISEytBr9yAopRo7IHm1wxYx6tOqAJpmc00q98Gl9m0o8ThLTe3m_ks8bmHXwyLOtgPytzT/s1600/Sofa+after.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxnjfKZUlSSEdZ0OIIY4Iyk8kVW7YVoYVoMxKqzjfGqAcVsZsiajsL3roR-dyb9pZlWn32hkISEytBr9yAopRo7IHm1wxYx6tOqAJpmc00q98Gl9m0o8ThLTe3m_ks8bmHXwyLOtgPytzT/s640/Sofa+after.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It was at this point that I realized you cannot staple into METAL. Yes, I though the back of the couch was wood and that I would be able to simple staple gun the fabric to the wood couch frame. Nope. Nada. It's metal.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">SO. I have yet to do so, but I am planning on hand stitching/tacking the back of the couch slipcover to the original couch fabric with super strong upholstery thread. Not ideal, but better than nothing! It stays pretty well as it is a tight fitting slipcover.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So, there you go, before and after travel trailer couch makeover!</span><br />
