there is this flickr group called i made it myself where people can post pictures of what they've made with their own two hands. 

today i made pseudo patio chair slipcovers myself.  ok, with the help of two twin bed sheet sets, 18 yards of ribbon, a pair of scissors and some imagination.  i think they turned out okay.  and better yet, they serve the purpose of not feeling the itchy wood on your bum and legs + the paint wont get on your clothes.
