Posted - Feb 08 2015 : 7:31:40 PM I scored a sweet lil Singer Feather Weight 221 sewing machine... and the machine works awesome, the case how ever was a bit musty and drab... I place 2cups of kitty litter and a scoop of Washing Soda, closed the lid and let it sit for a week. Then the fun began.... I spray painted the inside and out side... then with my trusty bottle of Mod Podge, began the beautification process...

Posted - Feb 13 2015 : 6:36:06 PM oh Cheryl, that reminds me,,, I noticed in the current Joann's flyer, they showed (very tiny photo) some I Luve Lucy fabric in their "licensed" fabric line,, maybe you can go on-line or call your nearest store.

Posted - Feb 09 2015 : 11:00:18 AM Thanx Marcy,,, it was a fun project...
Anna, it was a wood box covered w/the black 'fabric/vinyl type material... Spray painting both the inside and out help to rid the musty smell even tho' the litter & soda got rid of most of it.. there was just a wee hint of odor... no there is no odor. Since I painted the case first, I didn't feel the need to 'Gesso' it... but if I had chosen to decoupage' direct to the case I would have brushed on a layer of Gesso... (in the craft paint section of any craft store w/oil & acrylic artist paints.
