Miele Vacuum Cleaner Attachments (A Complete Guide)

Well, regardless, they bring me joy, so I made them mine!.

Find some fabric that you like.. Iron, measure, and cut: For my two lamp cord covers, I actually made 4 little mini covers since my fabric wasn’t long enough for two giant cord covers.So I cut 4 strips of fabric.

Instead of marking off my measurements, I like to iron a crease and just cut along the crease.I find it keeps everything neat and tidy and saves me from trying (and failing) to draw a straight line.. For one cord cover, I had 2 strips of fabric that measured a total of 1.5 times the length of my cord when placed end to end.This gave me the ruffly effect.

Each strip was 5 inches wide to make the cord cover 2 inches wide and allow a 1/2 inch for the seams.So if my cord was 60 inches long, that means that each strip was 45 inches by 5 inches.. Once I had my strips all cut out.

I ironed a little fold over to finish up the ends of each piece and sewed them all up.. Then I folded the whole thing in half, then I sewed along the edge using black thread because I didn’t feel like changing the bobbins, then one of my bobbins ran out halfway through so I had to change it anyway.

I put another black in for consistency.This will polish them up nicely but will also help clean anything that wasn’t easily removed with the soapy water and it’s kind of a nice protective coating for your boots too.. From time to time you may start to see a powdery white substance appear on your boots.

This is called blooming and happens naturally to high-quality rubber when solids rise to the surface.This is something that you’ll mostly see if your boots are subject to really warm temperatures.

Kind of like what happens to good chocolate.🙂 The olive oil will remove the white “bloom” from your boots too, so don’t even start to worry one bit if you see this happening to your boots this summer!.
