Emily's Dorm Room.. Sewing & Embroidering

Emily's First Year of College
 I  embroidered her initial on this pillow that I made for her.
 I actually did 2 of everything.. [One for her room mate...
so their room would match.☺

Initials on  the desk chair cover  [Two of these also]
Emily found this idea on Pintrest, and ask me to
 make it for them.

Bed skirts for both girls. [these beds are about 4 ft off
the floor, [so they can  store things under the beds]. It
took lots of time to make these tie on bed skirts.whew..
what we do, for those sweet grandkids.

Papa made   the head boards [two of them too] from plywood
and 1 x 4 's.  I covered them with cotton batting and  teal
fabric..    Her mom , painted the  letters above her bed.

                                                                         

                               Best wishes to my  sweet granddaughter,Emily..                                Wishing you the very best this year..

    1. Thank you Dianna.. She is an amazing granddaughter. She will be at this college, at least 4 yrs, so we wanted her to be as comfortable as possible [away from home.]. Missing her for sure.

  7. All of your creations give the room a very warm feel to it. She will certainly treasure everything you have made and they will I am sure bring her comfort on those nights where she is studying for exams. Beautiful room!

  11. That room is so beautiful. You did a lovely job on the sewing. I love to sew, but struggle with finding the time to do it, so I really love seeing your projects--it gives me hope and inspiration for when I do find the time again.

    I also liked the little tops you made for the girls who went to camp, over on a previous post. So cute!
