A Skirt for My Sink

A Skirt for My Sink

Our laundry room has a very useful sink but it wasn't the prettiest of sinks.  So I decided to make a skirt for it.  

I had some leftover fabric from my laundry basket liner so I decided to use it and make the skirt match.  I used sticky Velcro on the sink and sew on Velcro on the skirt.  When I finished making it I realized it was kind of plain. 

So I added trim on the top and a bow on the front.  I had originally wanted to ruffle the skirt but I didn't have enough fabric so I added two pleats in each corner.  The bow on the front kind of made up for the lack of ruffles.  

  

And, here it is complete. 

  

I am extremely happy with the skirt and I plan to have my husband make a top to cover the sink making it a table.  We just don't use the sink very often and it will do double duty.  

I used grey leaf paint on the walls.  It is a soft green color with a hint of blue.  It is my new favorite color.  

I so enjoy these kinds of projects. 

Till next time. 

Hugs, Beverly
