Definitely time to recover the card table and chairs i inherited from my grandmother!

Oh my gosh! Well, I need a new raincoat, and new chair cushions, to say nothing of a liner for my garden cart so some of the things I want to move won’t fall out of it!

Kitchen chair cushions, definitely!
Dec 4, 2011, 09.29 PMby kyrielle
so many things… an apron, placemats, a cute rain hat!

I’d make the umbrella from One Yard Wonders 2!

I just bought some great chairs at a yard sale that I want to re-cover for our patio.

I would make a cooking apron…

I’ve never worked with oilcloth. I think a lovely new raincoat with matching boot spats and umbrella would be brilliant; also, perhaps book covers. Would love the messenger bag kit, too.

I would make an apron and line kitchen boxes and baskets
Dec 4, 2011, 09.05 PMby nellyvdb
Some cool cuff bracelets, and an apron for sure :)

I would line the back of my china cabinet for a colorful touch. I would also make coasters, placemats, napkin rings and seat cushions!
Dec 4, 2011, 09.04 PMby euma
I would make cute rain hats for my kids.. and for me!
Dec 4, 2011, 08.59 PMby infinite-plus-one
Besides making a raincoat , I would love to use the oilcloth to make a bag for my camera (:
Dec 4, 2011, 08.59 PMby Christi Woglemuth
I would make a really cute raincoat because I need one where I live.
Dec 4, 2011, 08.55 PMby aega
I’d use it for the back side of a picnic blanket so I don’t have to use a tarp under the blanket when the ground is damp.
Dec 4, 2011, 08.53 PMby pgf
I would make collapsible boxes for my knitting projects, and bright covers for my computer, keyboard and trackpad, to keep out the dust.
Dec 4, 2011, 08.43 PMby januacoeli
I would make outdoor chair pillows, baby bibs and a raincoat.
Dec 4, 2011, 08.37 PMby matriarchy
Waterproof chairpads for the recliners in senior citizen centers.

I would make what we called in Girl Scouts, “Sit Upons.” These are mats we sat upon around the campfire. They are made with whole opened sheets of newspaper which are folded lengthwise, then weaved into a square, and ends tucked in. The oilcloth would make a great cover.
I would also use it in the kitchen as a fun shelving and drawer liner.

I would either reupholster my living room chairs in oilcloth or a booster seat for my daughter. Hey! She’s three years old and our chairs get messy!
Dec 4, 2011, 08.34 PMby Brandy totten
A super cute raincoat would be first on my list! But there are so many ideas and possibilities!! I would have to see what patterns I could come up with.
Dec 4, 2011, 08.30 PMby megatron
I would also like to make some cute baby bibs
Dec 4, 2011, 08.29 PMby megatron
I would love to make one of those old yellow rain fisherman’s hat.
Dec 4, 2011, 08.29 PMby bttn
I’d make a rain coat, a matching hat, (bag for bike,) tent for children, cover for the sewing machine…
Dec 4, 2011, 08.28 PMby Kathy Granzow
I would love to make some reversible place mats – one with a check on one side and with cherries on the other – Awesome!
Dec 4, 2011, 08.27 PMby makurochan
oooh, i’d like to make so many things, raincoats, umbrellas, outdoor seat cushions, a raincoat for my puppy (he’s a samoyed and loves to run around outside in the rain, but it soaks his thick fluffy coat and takes forever to dry out and then has to be brushed a lot, which he isn’t so happy about, lol) prob. lots of other things i can’t think of at the moment too!
Dec 4, 2011, 08.26 PMby fashionfreek
Maybe upcycle an umbrella or two or even make a few sandwich box holders.
Dec 4, 2011, 08.18 PMby kittelisa
This is so inspiring! I obviously would like to make a rain coat and a matching rain hat. But If I use my imagination a bit, I think in some cute and colorful boxes for my drawers or shelves. Cushions for the garden. And thinking more complicated a lamp would be awesome. :)

A raincoat cape would be fun, also a groovy wide belt. I also would like a rainproof case for my camera.
Dec 4, 2011, 08.08 PMby vintagegal
Never worked with it, so it would be a fashion adventure! but, I think it would be brilliant fun to make a pup tent for the yard! That would just be awesome fun for our next bonfire/neighborhood gathering!
