I had to take out the sides of both covers, add a six inch strip in the middle and sew them together to make one gigantic cover that would accomodate the larger width of the dryer.
The covers are a different color because the older one has been sun bleached longer. I added some rick rack so you would take your eyes away from the mix match patches.
We bought a can of Scotch Guard to make it water repellent.So there you have it! All done!
You got that job done quickly, and you got it done attractively, Kay.
ReplyDeleteNice work, Kay:-) I rather like the two-tone patchwork effect.
ReplyDeleteVoila--nice job and oh so quickly.
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of it being outside. No noise, no extra heat in a house you are trying to keep cool, and communing with nature.
Of course since I'd never hear the beep, my clothes would probably remain in the dryer till I started running out of things to wear.
wow, attractive cover. I like the idea of just one cover, simpler.
ReplyDeleteVoila is right. You solved that problem very quickly and very nicely, Kay.
ReplyDeleteNice work. It looks good. I knew you would figure something out.
ReplyDeletePerfect! I bet it won't take long before both pieces have been bleached to the same color.
ReplyDeleteNeat. It looks like a little sofa for people with long legs.
ReplyDeleteHappy Laundry Day
haha! I find the above comments very amusing! But, yes, I ditto them! Good job, Kay!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! You did a beautiful job.
ReplyDeletethat was real quick.
ReplyDeleteLook at that!! Great job, Kay!
ReplyDeletegood job, doesn't take you long to get things done...
ReplyDeleteI figured that's how you would solve it. And fast!
ReplyDeleteYup, you are a problem solver that never waits long to get things done. That's just one thing that I really admire about you.
ReplyDeleteThe covers are very attractive. What kind of fabric did you use.
Retired English Teacher: Thank you, Sally. You know what? I don't exactly remember what kind of fabric it is. It's very thick, sort of like denim, but stiffer. It's almost like canvas which makes it difficult to sew.
ReplyDeleteWow, that was fast! Like your decision to buy the dryer, and the camera before it.
ReplyDeleteWho are you and what have you done with the real Kay?
Kay: It's scary, isn't it? This was an emergency though. If we didn't get it right away, my mother might be traumatized by not being able to do laundry every day. Just kidding. Sort of.
ReplyDelete"All done." You make it sound so easy.
ReplyDeleteThat photo of you is so cute!
How clever you are! And it looks rather neat!
ReplyDeleteIt looks really nice,you did a good job.
ReplyDeleteKay, you did a wonderful job covering the washer and dryer! You are very handy with a needle and thread!!
ReplyDeleteImpressive!
