Pirate Couch

So! First of all, did you know there are "free" sections on craigslist and ksl.com? People are just giving stuff away. We nearly got a free piano!! (She ended up not wanting to give it away, but I am still hopeful)

Anyway, we found these free leather couches from a guy in Cedar Hills! He was giving them away because his kids had been jumping on the armrests and they kind of popped them open. It was a good thing we came over because he said he was about to set them on fire.

So we were trying to figure out what to do about the arm rests. Garrett suggested I sew those arm rest cover things. I was like, I don't know if you've noticed Garrett, but I have never sewn anything in our marriage! That is not going to happen. 

But then I found myself with some black thread and a needle in my hand and I just started sewing the couches themselves.

I think the rough stitches give the couch a rugged look--like a pirate that just got knifed in the face and the ship "doctor" attacked him with thread and needle

 Garrett said they looked like something out of a Tim Burton movie. Couchward Stitcharms?

 Pretty sweet though huh! They ain't pretty, but ... I don't sew and that's my excuse
