Waverizing My Bathroom With Jo-ann Fabrics #WaverizeIt

I received two yards of Waverly Fabric from Jo-ann Fabrics to make a project for this post.

You all know how I love to sew, so it was an easy answer when Jo-ann Fabrics asked me if I wanted to take the Waverize It Challenge the program for Waverly Fabrics to help promote the Jo-Ann and Waverly Facebook Contest.

#waverize

I decided to #Waverize my bathroom. I have needed a shelf for storage in there since we moved in. I measured the area above my toilet, then went to the local building supply place to get a 1″X6″ board, and asked them to cut it into 18″ pieces for me. I wound up with three 1″X6″X18″ boards to use for shelves in my finished project.

While I had many visions of this project in my head, it took me a long time to “dream it out” about how to put it together. This is how my project looks right now:

Shelve for the bathroom

As you can see, it is not finished yet. I am having technical difficulties getting it to look the way I want it to look. I have never designed a 3-dimensional project before, and well, this is not working the way I wanted it to. It does, however, have potential to become the vision I have in my head. I may have to sit down and rip all the stitching out and start over, but I was running out of time for the deadline.

Pretty! I was thinking of using these colors in my bathroom anyway

I am still trying to figure out how to get the top of the sides to not droop. I think maybe some extra stiff interfacing, or maybe a piece of a wire coat hanger. What would you do to stabilize it?

The top. I have one more piece to add for a hanging sleeve
The top. I have one more piece to add for a hanging sleeve

My original design was to have a hanging sleeve at the top, and hang the piece up using a curtain rod. However, since I have seen it on the wall using push pins to hold it there, it might be feasible to just use the push pins. Another idea I had was to use shower curtain hangers. What to do, what to do?

Don’t forget to head on over to the Jo-Ann and Waverly Facebook contest and help Waverly celebrate their 90th Anniversary by joining in the contest! You could win fabric and a gift card.

    Very clever, Karen. I have used a fusible fleece by Pellon that might work to stiffen those sides. I am not sure I would rely solely on push pins to hold that shelf up. I would worry they would pull out and everything would come tumbling down.

    I love the idea and colors. Agree with Sally on the hanging. How about a cardboard insert. From a non-sewer.

    I think I see where you are going with this and I like it!! (I think cardboard could work to stabilize the sleeves.)

    Cute idea! I really need to learn how to sew and use fabrics more than I have so I can crank out some nifty projects.

    I love Joann fabrics. I have an obsession with buying fabric and figuring out what to do with it later.

    I like how your project is turning out! I think that your hanging sleeve is a good idea.. perhaps make a wire coat hanger into a hanger by wrapping it with fabric and making a loop out of the hook part? I’m not sure how that would work with the sides though… can’t wait to see what you figure out! I do like the fabric colors!
