As parents to 5 young children, their bunk beds have been a wonderful space saver. Story time before bed is a must in our household and so, to promote this important habit and encourage organization (which we need with our tribe) I am making book slings to go along side their beds. I take no credit for this wonderful idea which I have seen afew times on the net. Simply, they are a double curtain rod (or bracket), a piece of Tasmanian Oak dowel and fabric to fit. The books slide in between the two sides of fabric. Friends and family have begun placing their orders and I am busy making them from a variety of fabrics to find the most durable for this project. Until yesterday I thought I was pretty good at a straight stitch...

'Mr' added the brackets and the finished product! Not bad for a first attempt. |

| Next it was time to make one for the girls room. |

Some of the more durable fabrics ready for sewing!
If you would like to place an order you can contact me at ourhomecraftandfurniture@gmail.com. Together we can discuss the choice of fabric (colours, patterns, fabric selection, theme in your child's bedroom) and I can post to anywhere in Australia.
