A Peck of Gold

What's Under Your Slipcover?

I spent the afternoon making a slipcover for our t.v. stand. Due to our recent additions of Playstation and DVD player, it was starting to look like an electronic jungle. It was a bit scary. I think we had a little monkey swinging from cable to cable. So, I figure a slipcover will do the trick. This is no small feat, ye non-sewers of the world. First, I have to lug out all my equiptment, which is scattered to the four corners of the earth. Then, I have a live audience to contend with, who is constantly demanding diaper changes and drink refreshers, and also expert "help" from the toddler sector to fend off. Not to mention that I'm working with my own amateur skills gained in 8th grade home economics class. (Boy, I tell ya though, that "skort" and matching purse set came out quite well for a 14 yr old) Anyway, I finally finish the thing, and it's rather snappy looking, hides all the wires, seams are all pretty straight. I'm pleased with it. No more jungle monkeys.

And as Patrick so eloquently stated it, "now our t.v. has on a pair of pants".

Excellent.
