Curtains

Since I fussed so much while making these, I thought I should show you how they turned out. As I mentioned I made them from leftover bits of bedding so they match our decor nicely. I think if I was just starting now to make them for the kitchen window I would start with bandannas, dinner napkins, or men’s handkerchiefs so I would only have to sew the rod pockets without having to hem everything first.

The bedding it all matches:

The bathroom:

The kitchen:

The original plan was for the kitchen curtain to hang free but it was hard to turn on the faucet without getting the curtain wet or to move the toaster oven far enough from it to feel safe so we wound up putting in a bottom rod, too. It’s still a lot softer look than those horrible metal blinds and these can go in the laundry for washing.

I still have living room valances to finish if we change the shades we have there now but there’s time yet to make that decision.

TTYL,
