Sackcloth Slipcover

Three generations old and looking and little ragged but I love the memories that come with her, a doll cradle, a wagon, you name it, this little stool as done it all. Time for a new look....
I bought this old Diamond Blast sack about a year ago at a local thrift shop in Ohio while visiting my parents.
No need for a sewing machine just buttons, needle and thread.
I have thoughts of adding a gray ruffle around the bottom, but this will do for now.

  3. That slipcover is wonderful just the way it is - but maybe a grey ruffle would be good too - square and pleated or gathered and frilly?
