After taking a small vacation from my sewing machine, I decided to pull it out this week and work on a few projects I have been wanting to do! Our playroom has been feeling a bit boring in the decor department so with the help of Megan & Daniel we are doing a playroom makeover. We covered our Ikea table with fabric (see pic below), made some curtains, and have been working on a few art projects and display items. It's been fun to work with the kids and I love having projects that keep them busy. It's so darn hot outside that we are stuck inside most of the time. When the room is complete I will post some pics.
I am always making the girls matching jumpers and skirts for church and Daniel always asks me, "What about me?" Here's what I made for Daniel this week. He's gonna look so handsome this summer sporting his new brightly colored ties. I asked him which one was his favorite and he told me ALL OF THEM!

you are amazing Katie. I love the table, that's adorable! Did you use modpodge? And those ties are absolutely awesome!!
Love it Katie! Those ties are adorable and exactly what I have had in mind to make for my little guy (only smaller to start) : ). What pattern do you use for them?
Hi Katie! your family is so cute...it is fun to watch your kiddos grow. We miss your family:) I really like your table too and I'm curious what you used to adhere the fabric:) We have the same table and it needs a facelift!
Rebecca, for the tie pattern I went here:

The first one is a tad tricky, but once you figure it out it's a breeze.
Stephanie and Haley-
For the Ikea table and chairs. I took them apart. Got out my fabric and traced the seat and table top onto my fabric. Cut it out. Then applied an even coat of modpodge to the table top and seat (one at a time). I layed the fabric down and smoothed it out with a ruler. Then I applied a generous and even layer of modpodge on top of the fabric making sure you get it right to the edge. You need the edge sealed so the fabric doesn't gather when your putting the table and chairs back together. Let it dry completely then put your table and chairs back together. Super easy and cute! I am even thinking of painting the wood...
Thank you, thank you, Katie! I'm going to try it.
Love your creativity! And your kids are so darling!
How in the heck did you make those ties? You HAVE to send me the pattern or whatever you used. I totally would love to make some for Brandon...that's the coolest thing ever. When I grow up...I wanna be you!!
