Make your own cushion! If your sweaters are wool, put them through the washer (on hot) and dryer a few times. The texture is so interesting, and the yarn won't ravel.pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17923358872986211342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31111931.post-90714976166783100922009-11-21T01:35:53.884-08:002009-11-21T01:35:53.884-08:00That's a wonderful idea!

At least you know it will be made with love of the re-purposed items :-) As for blogging about my dresser, I am not sure I would know what to say, lol, as I only wiped it down and put books in the drawers and found a placer for it in my bedroom. I am sending you a photo of one that looks like it but mine is missing the mirror and bench which I do not need for now.<br />http://vancouver.kijiji.ca/c-ViewAdLargeImage?AdId=47627240<br />Perhaps one day when I get my apartment sorted out I can take a photo of my dresser/desk. In the meantime, I wish you well with the cushion making.Joyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956413632864588646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31111931.post-54915029374954843142009-11-20T23:36:08.304-08:002009-11-20T23:36:08.304-08:00Great for you, Marylaure!

Currently I have a repurposed dressing tables (circa 40s) which I use in my bedroom filled with books in the drawers. I've cleaned the wood but haven't painted it - yet. I like the look of sweaters repurposed into cushions. Here is one I especially like though the sweater looks too nice to cut http://www.refashion.com.au/sweatercushion.htmJoyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956413632864588646noreply@blogger.com
