My new kitchen... settling in and I love it.  I wanted to soften up the chains and hooks for the pot rack.  I took an old table runner and repurposed it into covers for the chains.  I think it came out really nicely - love the colors.   And since my "regular" sewing machine has quit working, I used my little baby Janome craft sewing machine and it worked wonderfully.  I love that cute little machine.
