The End

This past Friday was my last official day as an intern at Home Remedies.  I worked a total of 137 hours this past semester, and learned more than I could ever measure. This internship helped me to establish new skills, contacts and a basic knowledge on upholstering and sewing.  I am so thankful this all worked out, it was such a pleasant experience.  Here is what I did on my last day.

Made a lovely pillow with self welt. One of my favorite projects thus far.

Altered some cushion covers.  Removed their ties and added velcro.

A large order of cushions was placed to be finished this weekend, so my job was to measure and cut all the foam, cushion wrap it, which is an added layer of batting, and then stuff the seats.

Lots of foam to be measured and cut.

In the works.

So it's been a while since my last post, but that doesn't mean I haven't been working.  The past few weeks I've been doing odd projects such as shortening pillow cases, hemming curtains, and prepping projects.  It's been great to become familiar with little tasks like these and be able to whip them out fairly quickly.

Hemming rod pocket drapes.

Prepping for cushions, and later assembled them.
