What a journery it's been - the decision was made on Monday; fabric purchased on Tuesday; cutting, pinning and sewing commenced on Wednesday; more pinning and sewing completed on Thursday before the finale on Friday with the help of DH! I have to say, a friend also helped me hem one on Wednesday.
On Saturday will be the BIG test of hanging them and ensuring they are actually straight - we'll see! I have a tonne of fabric left - go the man at Spotlight who clearly miscalculated how much fabric we would need - so you can expect to see matching cushions, table cloth, placemats and maybe even an apron out of the matching fabric!!
Fast forward to Saturday.... even the dog assisted in making curtains - well actually she slept while we did the hard work.
Derek put all the tracks up and after a quick trip to spot light for additional hook thingys (oh and 5 new patterns! eeek) I got to put the curtains up and they look FANTASTIC!!!! Because they are against a window (obviously!) it was hard to take a proper photo, however here is one of the windows (the smallest one actually)!!
So, what do you think? Leave me a comment below!
See you next Sunday.
