ON THE GO

Keep your hand-sewing tools

and projects in a portable

storage container.

COMFY NOOK

Create a cozy

sitting area where

you can relax and

work on hand-

sewing projects.

Place plywood on a flat surface.

Spray plywood with upholstery

adhesive.

Before adhesive dries, cover

plywood with batting, leaving

at least 4" extending past each

plywood edge. Smooth batting.

Turn plywood batting side down.

Working on opposite plywood

edges, pull batting taut and

staple it to plywood. Repeat with

remaining edges.

Wrap batting-covered side of

plywood with flannel sheet.

Staple as before. Trim away

excess batting and flannel.

Hang using a hanger kit that

has anchor screws (such as

Hangman Ook 55316 200).
