TIP #5: Don’t give away the “How to” in you photo.. You can hint at it, like this:.

So I cut 4 strips of fabric.Instead of marking off my measurements, I like to iron a crease and just cut along the crease.

I find it keeps everything neat and tidy and saves me from trying (and failing) to draw a straight line.. For one cord cover, I had 2 strips of fabric that measured a total of 1.5 times the length of my cord when placed end to end.This gave me the ruffly effect.Each strip was 5 inches wide to make the cord cover 2 inches wide and allow a 1/2 inch for the seams.

So if my cord was 60 inches long, that means that each strip was 45 inches by 5 inches.. Once I had my strips all cut out.I ironed a little fold over to finish up the ends of each piece and sewed them all up.. Then I folded the whole thing in half, then I sewed along the edge using black thread because I didn’t feel like changing the bobbins, then one of my bobbins ran out halfway through so I had to change it anyway.

I put another black in for consistency.

Why I needed to be consistently the wrong color, I don’t know, but it just felt right.. Once everything was all sewn up, I turned all 4 mini covers right side out and put them onto my cords!How to Clean Your Pet Beds Naturally.
