Laundry Room Makeover - Part 2: Utility Sink Skirt

Sewing A Skirt For My Utility Sink

After building the lid for my utility sink to create more countertop space, I also wanted to make the space look "pretty".

The lid helped to make the utility sink more utilitarian.

The skirt helped make the sink more enjoyable to look at (and to hide things behind).

I used a tension rod between the wall and the washing machine.

I sewed a simple pocket across the top of the fabric and slid the rod through the hole.  Easy!

Now I can hide all my painting supplies under the sink.  It works great because after washing my paint brushes in the sink, I can just toss them under the sink to store.
