Tony went off to the footie an hour ago and I have been up to mischief already.... :-) Look what I'm in the process of making.... Fabric Cement Pots..... I saw them on good ole You Tube and had to try my hand at them I have made two and they are currently drying in the conservatory as it is drizzling outside.
I put an old sheet down on the floor and then put a big sheet of old plywood to work on. This is an experiment and I have no idea how well they will dry. I will let you know in a few days.

| It needs to be thinner than this as the fabric soaks up a lot of the water. Or perhaps soak the fabric first... |

| An old curtain that I was given. I cut the best bits off to keep for another project. Soak it thoroughly in the cement/sand mix. |

I couldn't bring myself to throw away the hem that I had cut off. I soaked it in the cement and added it around what will be the bottom of the pot. The image implies that it is straight sided. It is actually quite flared. I really am looking forward to seeing how it dries.
