My first project was to make the curtains for our master bedroom. I decided to make them myself for 2 reasons. 1-I had an idea in my head for what I wanted the curtains to look like & was unable to find this in the stores. 2-It seems ridiculous to pay $90+ for 1 lined panel curtain.
Here is the final project. I am really happy with how the project came out.
I also made a dog bed for Jasmine. Here is Murphy modeling for me. He is quite fond of all of Jasmine's beds.
I found the fabric that I wanted from fabric.com. I had a couple of issues with the fabric. There were multiple tears like this:
I ordered 15 yards of fabric. I ordered 5 extra yards because I wanted to make pillows & a dog bed. I am quite disappointed with fabric.com. In order to give me the 15 yards of fabric, the fabric was stitched together (see below). I had these in 5 different spots! Thankfully I ordered enough fabric that I was still able to make the curtains while working around the fabric deformities.
Here is what the fabric looked like beforehand. (Just proof that I actually did this myself!)
It turned out so nice! I always have ideas to sew things, but alas, it never happens. I especially like the model posing on the bed.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Curtains are definitely an easy thing to begin sewing. You don't really need a pattern as long as you cut everything correctly.
