Cool Cubes

I was asked to slipcover a cube the other day
I decided to do a little research on cubes. One of the first items of instruction I found was from my favorite sewing industry supplier, Rowley Company.  Located on their  How-To Page I found instructions on how to build and cover an 18"x18"x18" cube.


I am pretty sure my friend Laurie Medford of Rowley Company constructed the cubes as seen above. When you are a sewing instructor, you start to recognize other instructors by their hands in photographed instructions.

When you go to the Rowley Company how-to page, you'll be able to download, for free, lots of instructions on many different topics. They also sell supplies used by sewing professionals in the home decor industry.

Cubes are great for extra seating or small coffee tables. You can place four of them in the middle of a den to use as a larger coffee table and split them apart when company comes and you need extra seats for them to sit and chat. They can be covered to match any home decor.

So to fill you in on my project, yes I did slipcover the $59.00 leather cube but you'll have to wait to see the final project. It will be used in an upcoming episode of the TV show For Your Home and I will be writing up the instructions after the show airs.

Sew nice of you to stop by,

I love those cubes! What a great idea for a kids room.

What an easy project that would be! I wonder how much it would cost to just make the cube instead of buying one for $59? I gotta think it would be less than that! Of course then we have to figure in the time involved too. Hmmm, I would love to have a couple of these for my office. Thanks for the idea!
