<span style="font-size: large;">I've been super busy helping with the re-opening of Banasch's Fabric store, here in Cincinnati! Banasch's has been in business since 1910, but closed this Fall. We are so excited that they have found a new location in Anderson Township, about 5 minutes from my house! The owners are good friends of mine and asked if I would like to be involved with the new store. So fun! Here are some pics of the window display I did and some other products I made for the store using their beautiful fabrics!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> And this is the "Trim" tree I did for the front door! I took a wire coat-hanger and shaped it into a tree, then glued the green fringe trim to make the tree. I filled a bunch of red and green bobbins for ornaments, as well as little silver and gold pom pom trim. The trunk is a vintage spool of thread and I used a rhinestone button for the star from the stores amazing button supply!</span> <span style="font-size: large;"> The vintage frame came from our favorite local antique booth, The Flea (located at Riverside Antique Market)!

A friend and I literally built the walls and the "stage" ourselves. We had just re-decorated our dining room, so we used the old chandelier and mirror to dress it up and then made satin curtains for the stage. The girls loved playing dress-up down there, and even little Bo got into the "Tabbo Band"!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">As much as I liked the brightness, I took down the satin curtains and got rid of the stage...sniff, sniff! Such great memories with that stage! Once I got that out, I covered the entire room with square flooring pieces. I was able to save a large piece of Corian from our old kitchen counter to use as a cutting table. I took one of the cabinets from my old sewing room and made it into the base of the island/cutting table. I also painted some cubbies that fit up against the backside of the cabinet to give more storage space. The Corian is the perfect surface for a cutting table because it cleans up so well and is practically indestructable!</span></span> <br />

I realized that I have quite a bit of trim that I don't use. I thought if I could see what I have, I might be more likely to use it, so I created this space in the corner. I've had the kids toy bin holder forever and the bins are the perfect size for things like elastic, and packaged trims. Since I was painting everything, I went ahead a painted the bins black too!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It went from the girl's room, where it was never hung, to the storage room in the basement, to the garage. In fact, I believe I pulled it out of the trash a couple of times when my husband tried to sneak it in there!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Basically, I just used Mod Podge to attach the strips of fabric onto each surface, then added the ruffled flowers and trim pieces. I used whatever beads/crafting jewels I could find around the house, and then started cutting up old pieces of jewelry. After a while, I just started gluing whole pieces of jewelry right on the mirror. There's actually an entire bracelet wrapped around one edge.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I also finished Austin's "Skater" skirt this weekend! This is my new favorite skirt! No pattern, just need measurements.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I am so excited to be a part of this blog series celebrating Jennifer Paganelli and Sis Boom! I absolutely adore Jennifer and am constantly amazed by her talent and her generosity. She is an incredible woman who has brought so much joy to my world! I can't begin to thank her enough. This tribute to her is well deserved and I am truly honored to be a part of it! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have so many blessings in my life and so much to be thankful for, but this has been a challenging year for me, personally. Thank goodness I have a creative outlet to turn to and thank goodness I have Sis Boom! For me, the beauty of Jennifer's fabrics lift me up and literally make me happy. When I can transform a yard of fabric into a skirt, or a pillow, or a bag or whatever, it transform me too. There's no way else to explain it! So, when we decided to re-do our girls' room this Fall, I knew it had to be done with Sis Boom. How wonderful would it be to wake up everyday and see the bright, happy colors of Jennifer's fabrics?! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I've been sending Jennifer sneak peaks of the room as I've been working on it, but now it's ready to be revealed! It's not totally finished but I love where it's going so far!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So, here is the room before...</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">It was cute and bright but a little "young". Here it is now... </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The beds are black and have two drawers on each side, which eliminated the need for dressers. We also re-did the closet to provide more space for their clothes.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I started with the cornice boards. I LOVE mixing up the Sis Boom in unpredictable ways. I wanted lots of color that would work with the purple walls and the brighten up the black beds. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The crazy love in the center is one of my all-time favorite Sis Boom fabrics. Jen outdid herself with that one! In fact, if anyone has any they'd like to sell me...I'll take it!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I covered an ottoman from our living room and added casters to the bottom to give them some extra seating for their friends. I have another one to cover but just haven't gotten it done yet!! There's also a handle on one side to make it easier to move.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This is Bradlee's end of the room. She loves the Crazy Love too, so I did these Euro pillows for her (yesterday!) out of what I had left.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">They're perfect with the new Lucky Girl!!! I spruced up this little piece too. You can see it next to her bed. I
just painted it and decoupaged some fabric to the top. Easy project
that totally transformed it and saved it from the junk pile! Sorry for not getting a better "after" picture!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We decided to only keep one of the desks for the girls to share in order to save space. I'm also searching for just the right full-length mirror to go where the light tree is on the wall. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Here is one of the lamps in the old room... </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">So that's it! That's my Sis Boom room! It makes me happy every time I walk in there! I still need to finish the duvet covers, but I saw a little sneak peak from Jennifer recently of a new line coming out that has a little black in it...so excited to get my hands on that!! And I'm thinking about throwing in a bright colored rug as well. Most likely, these pillows will keep changing with every Sis Boom line that comes out! Once I get through the Holidays, I'll be able to get back in there and finish everything. But for now, we love it! It's a little more sophisticated for two girls coming into their own. It's fun and pretty but not too young. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have to say a special thank you to Jennifer and to all of my Sis Boom "Sista's"! Jennifer, you have changed my world, and I am proud to not only love and admire your talent, but also to call you my friend. And to the Sista's, you are amazing women who inspire me every day. Just knowing I am not the only sewing obsessed, Sis Boom loving, creative nut out there keeps me sane! Please check out their work by following our 12 Days of Sis Boom...</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I'll be honest, I usually have a stack of projects going all at the same time. Rarely do I post them on the blog. Mostly because I forget to take pictures before I get started! So I went through some pics and found a few that I could share.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We'll start with the ottoman</span><span style="font-size: large;"> Re-Do...I'll have more on this later but basically I have 2 of these ottomans sitting behind my couch that are rarely used. The girls room needed some seating, so I added casters to the bottom of this, recovered it, and added a handle to make it easier to move around the room. I took pictures through the process and hope to post a tutorial soon.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> I bought this metal flower a while ago and knew I could transform it for my oldest daughter's room. It took some time but I love the way it turned out. I cut pink organza into a squares. Each square is about 1 1/2 in x 1 1/2 in.. Then I squeezed the little square in the middle to make it a flower and glued it to the metal flower (hot glue gun). Now it's a great 3 dimensional piece of art that is almost "furry"! It's one of my favorites!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Here is a pic of the girls bathroom re-do. I wanted to keep the yellow walls but there just wasn't enough storage for two tween girls.</span> <span style="font-size: large;"> I found the cabinet at Loews and painted the little baskets to bring in some pink. I made the shower curtain out of Riley Blake chevron with Sis Boom Poodle ties and yellow piping.</span> <span style="font-size: large;"> I'm looking for a mirror to replace the existing one over the sink.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It had the cheap, metal shelving on one side and across the top of the back. It got a little too much weight on there and just ripped right out. It was definitely in need of some repairs!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> Taylor picked out the paint color and I put the shelving unit together. It's from Home Depot and probably would have gone in much faster and neater if I had just waited for the husband to do it, but then again, it might never have gotten done at all if I had done that! Sometimes you just have to do things yourself!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> I went to IKEA for the wall organizers. I had no idea what I was looking for when I got there, but as soon as I saw these I knew they were perfect! The bathroom in this room is really small so I wanted to keep as many hair and nail products out of there as I could. This system has kept it all neat and tidy.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> Now, each girl has her own hanging section, shelves, and drawers. The drawers are expensive ($60 each!) so I just bought a couple for now and I'll pick up more later. The space between the top and bottom drawers on the right side is the perfect size for a laundry basket. The bins are from Target and are great for holding leggings, sport bras, volleyball shorts, etc.. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> I'm really happy with the way the whole thing turned out and the girls have been pretty good about keeping it organized. I got rid of their two dressers in the bedroom so I am trying to get them to hang more things than they are used to. Somehow, "hang it up" seems to translate to, "throw it on the closet floor" quite a bit. Typical.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I am a huge college football fan, so I worked on this particular skirt during the Oklahoma game. You may see bits of the game in the background! (We won this one, by the way!) So let's start with what you will need. I'm sure you have seen the basic drum lamp shade on a simple metal base at many big-box stores. This one came from Target and was less than $20.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This lamp was already in the existing room. I had covered it with fabric and trim a few years ago but it was obviously not going to work in the new (purple) room. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's what you'll need to create your new Lamp Skirt. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Pick out a piece of fabric about 1 yd. long x 10 in deep, (I recommend Sis Boom...always!). The amount of fabric you use will depend on how full you want the skirt and how deep your top trim will be. For this skirt, I used Super Fly from Sis Boom. The trim piece is 4in.x about 28in. You don't need to be exactly precise on these measurements. Just err on the part of a little more rather than a little less because you can always gather it more to make it fit. You'll also need a glue gun and some trim to embellish with.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHVJKKMn0f64KILCcsFk_V8GNYrtRqa9XUZmN4_odTi_8dV3vCORh2vOwbwMoANmWQNKR2P-d6uhkApwufFvruuskPb85ZPe9V-62cFrP6HAdK74shprX2Yz3y1Wt-5RcO-nTOrtAKDCOh/s1600/Tabbo+182.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHVJKKMn0f64KILCcsFk_V8GNYrtRqa9XUZmN4_odTi_8dV3vCORh2vOwbwMoANmWQNKR2P-d6uhkApwufFvruuskPb85ZPe9V-62cFrP6HAdK74shprX2Yz3y1Wt-5RcO-nTOrtAKDCOh/s400/Tabbo+182.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So, let's get started. Finish both sides of your top trim piece. I used a rolled edge with a contrasting color. You could also fold the sides over and press them down to finish. You just don't want the edges to unravel.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Sew the short ends of your rectangle together so that the fabric becomes a circle. Then you'll need to finish the top and bottom edges of this piece as well. I did this with a serger, but you could zig zag stitch if you are using a traditional machine. You just want a clean edge. After you've finished the edge, run a gathering stitch just under the finished edge. I find the simplest way to gather fabric is to set your stitch length to the highest number (typically about 5) and set your tension at the highest setting. This will cause the fabric to gather a little on its own as you are sewing. Don't cut this gathering thread too close to the fabric. You'll need a piece of thread long enough to grab on to to pull. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> For this shade, I wanted the zebra print to start about 4 inches from the top. Take a pen and draw a line around the shade to give yourself a guide for your glue gun. This line will be covered later by the top trim.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> Hopefully, by this point, your team is winning and it's time to make some nachos and open a beer! This should take about enough time to get your glue gun heated up! (I wouldn't recommend opening too many beers when you have your glue gun out...)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Starting to look like a skirt!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Now you'll flip your lampshade upside down and pull your gathering thread to tighten the bottom of the skirt. Again, keeping your ruffles even all the way around. Glue the finished edge of the ruffle right along the inside bottom of the shade. The best way to keep the ruffles even is to start with a drop of glue at the inside seam of the shade. Then place a drop of glue directly across from there. The next drop will go halfway between the first two and then directly across again. So now your fabric is glued in four, evenly spaced places. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Flip the shade upright again and make sure your ruffles are still even. Make
sure your top ruffles are lined up with your bottom ruffles. Now you
can flip it again and glue the rest of the bottom edge to the inside of
the shade.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span>The finished edge is glued just about the bottom rim of the shade.</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">There will be about 1-2 inches of fabric hanging below the shade.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Now you'll glue the trim piece to the top edge of the shade. Fold the short edge of the trim piece down and press it to get a clean edge, then start to glue! Just run a line along the very top of the shade. I found it easier to glue the bottom of the trim at the same time, alternating placing glue at the top and at the bottom. This gave me control over manipulating the fabric to keep it even all the way around.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Once you've added your top fabric, you can embellish the rest of the
shade in any way you like! I think ruffles for example, would be adorable for a younger girls room! I chose to add pom pom trim and a bow, but there are all kinds of variations you could do to make your lamp skirt
unique and original! I initially had the bow at the top of this lamp but stared at it long enough to realize it needed to be lowered and it needed pom pom trim.</span></div>

I knew right away I wanted to make it myself out of some vintage Sis Boom. I've been making pillows for the girl's new room (coming soon!) and this is a style I had not tried before. Basically, instead of a ruffle, it is like attaching a flounce to a skirt, and incorporating piping to all of the seams.<br />
<br />
Here is a pic of the Pratesi pillow...<br />

Pratesi is an Italian luxury linen company. I loved the black and white with the piping detail. Played around a little this morning (okay, I woke up during the night with this great idea and THEN played around with it in the morning!). Here is my version...<br />

In fact, I was getting asked so often that I had to start limiting how many events I could participate in. The one event that I ALWAYS work with is the Mayfield Classic Golf Outing. This event benefits Impact Autism, which is an organization started by friends of ours here in Cincinnati who are raising triplets with Autism. That's right, triplets. All three diagnosed with this horrible disease. One of my closest friends is also raising a teenaged boy with Autism, so I have always felt a closeness to this cause. It is such a tragic illness effecting far too many children today.<br />
<br />
This year I donated a giant dog bed and matching dog collar. My first attempt at a dog collar. I think I need to do a couple more to get them right but it turned out really cute. I hope they get alot of bids on it!<br />

Summer, a boy with a broken leg, a new puppy and the start of school has certainly kept me busy! But I've managed to get quite a few things made up in the last few months. I just can't keep up the blog like I want to. So, I'll just try to post pics every so often for those of you who actually make it over here! I try to post on the Tabbo Facebook page too. Check it out! <br />

Her name is Mrs. Kapp and she taught one of my daughters as well. This week she is in Washington D.C. with my oldest daughter as a chaperone for the eighth grade field trip. I thought I'd share a little project that I made for her this Winter. She likes to read to the children from her director's chair. I thought it needed a little pizazz so I spruced it up for her! </span><br />

I have a little issue with losing things while I'm working. So I made this pin cushion to keep next to my machine and added the elastic strap to hold those little tools that always seem to disappear! I made the cushion itself pretty large because I tend to lose those too! </div>

Which is okay, I guess! Next year I'll try to have a Winter sale a little more organized (like I say every year!). I did manage to get a couple of other projects done in the last few days. I made these zipper bags for my husband's office staff...<br />

Sorry for the lack of posts lately! It's cheer season and this year I
am coaching or assistant coaching all three of my daughter's teams. I
enjoy it but it does take up a lot of time! However, I have had time to
make and sell a ton of Tabbo tablet covers! This year the 6th,7th, and 8th
graders have tablets at our school and pretty much ALL of the girls
wanted covers. They have zippers, handles, and a pocket to hold the charger.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here are some pictures from this weeks 6th grade cheer
practice with their bags scattered around the gym...I think I've sold about 40 of them this year!! And I'm still making them! </div>

Yesterday was my oldest daughter Austin's last Home game. I've coached her and about 19 other 8th grade girls for several years now. It was a sad day! I don't want her or any "my girls" to grow up! <br />

I have been chasing after young children now for about 13yrs, so I haven't had much "idle hands" time. But now that my youngest is 7, I do find that I get very antsy when I'm not being productive.<br />

.... beading! It's not needlepoint, but isn't it gorgeous? I did it on the beach,
by the pool, on the airplane...it's a little addictive! I feel like my

Sis Boom fabric is PERFECT for embellishing! No idle hands for the rest of the Summer! Thanks for the
inspiration Mom!<br />

Happy Home is the latest book from Jennifer Paganelli and it is full of beautiful, easy to create, wonderful projects for the home. I am honored to be among the group of bloggers showcasing these projects! The whole blog tour has been fun to follow and I'm so impressed with the talent of all of these women! Click on the Happy Home button on the right to see the whole blog tour. Or visit <a href="http://www.sewprettydresses.blogspot.com/">http://www.sewprettydresses.blogspot.com/</a>. <br />
<br />
I decided to approach my project a little differently. I really wanted to show how you can look at this book and make the projects your own. I think that is really what Jennifer Paganelli wants you to do with Happy Home. Be inspired! The projects in this book are gorgeous and have clear, direct, instructions that are easy to understand and follow. Try them and you will love the results. Then, go back and look at the book as a starting point for your own creative voice. In the introduction of the book, Jennifer says, " ...let your creativity flow." "..."take risks...", "...have fun with these projects..." ! Take that advice and think outside the box. Use this book to inspire you. Try new things. Challenge yourself!<br />
<br />
Let me just tell you that I have a basic rule of thumb when I use my Sis Boom fabric...if I can't decide what to use, I just use them all! There is no such thing as "less is more" with Tabbo. So, when I couldn't decide on a project, I just used as many as I could, all together! More is more!<br />
I started with the Posh Party Tablecloth (pg.116) as my basic project.<br />
<br />

<br />
This tablecloth is gorgeous and as I read through the instructions, I immediately saw the possibilities for so many variations in the design! Since Shannon already demonstrated how to add a ruffle, <a href="http://sewprettydresses.blogspot.com/2012/06/meet-shannon.html">http://sewprettydresses.blogspot.com/2012/06/meet-shannon.html</a>. I decided to make my tablecloth with the "Box Pleat Bed Skirt" project (pg. 150) instead of the ruffle. The box pleat creates a very tailored look that I thought would be perfect for a tablecloth. Then, for contrast, I decided to use the cording instructions for the Darcy Duvet project (pg.160). Already my Posh Party tablecloth was developing into my own Tabbo design! All I needed was the perfect fabric. I have a very extensive stash of Sis Boom fabric, but this project seemed to call for something more. Something special. So I drove up to Waynesville, OH to my favorite fabric store to be inspired. I had so much fun at the Fabric Shack planning out the design and putting it all together. I wish I had gotten the name of the woman who helped me because we really had fun! The staff at the Fabric Shack is always so wonderful...they make the drive worth it! Check out their online store too...no one could possibly have a larger selection than this store! www.fabrickshack.com. After much deliberation, we decided on the Sis Boom laminates. I have not worked with laminates before, but I wanted a challenge and I knew this would make the perfect Summer picnic tablecloth. <br />

I'm really excited to be a part of the Happy Home blog tour! Those of you who follow me, or should I say, both of you, :) know that I am a HUGE Sis Boom fan and Jennifer Paganelli is my all-time favorite designer. So, I am honored to participate in promoting this book. It is GORGEOUS, just like everything else she does!<br />
I realized that when I put up the Happy Home post, other people will actually see the TabboDesign blog...which I have completely deserted these last few months! I'm sure if people followed me they would be seriously disappointed in my lack of posts. (LOL!). But, I'm thinking that maybe if I put some more posts up before the Happy Home post, the visitors will think I actually blog a lot! And, who knows, maybe I'll start posting more often if people actually know I'm here!<br />
<br />
So...here we go! Welcome to TabboDesign, the blog! I just returned from a week in Hilton Head with our BFF family. I made them some matching outfits before we left and we tried to get some cute shots of them on the beach. This adorable little boy is Mitchell...who didn't really want his picture taken!<br />

I've been working on getting these belts out into stores around town. They are the perfect Summer accessory! It's the Sis Boom fabric that makes them so awesome! Just doesn't get any better! I posted them on my FB page but I think I need to list them on Etsy. Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16719712726638361407noreply@blogger.com0
