Curtains

I got a bee in my bonnet last week about making some curtains for our bedroom. I mean, who wants black curtains in their bedroom?

Or dark blue velvet curtains?

Or curtains that are different lengths, materials and colours, for that matter?

I had found some gorgeous material online, but at £20+ per square meter, it was just too expensive. So we took a trip to the fabric warehouse and came home with some bright stripy stuff that was £7 per square meter. That's more like it!

The downside to having such HUGE windows is that it requires a lot of material for making curtains. Not only is this an expense (see above) but it's a right hassle when cutting and sewing lengths. 

Thank goodness I had my trusty assistant on hand. 

 

 I'm pretty pleased with the end result. It's certainly better than what was there before! 

 

I mean, they're the same colour/pattern AND length!



I'm pretty impressed that the hems line up.

All in a weekend's work and done before the baby arrives. Success!
