Curtains

 

The fabric for Kat's new bedroom curtains has arrived.  Now all I have to do is make the bloomin’ things. They will be full length and I just have to decide whether they should float, kiss or puddle.  Could take me a while.  Watch this space.

    1. Not really complicated, just lots of measuring, cutting and sewing.

    1. I will get a certain amount of satisfaction if they hang nicely.

    1. It could be quite a while before she is here again so I've got plenty of time.

    1. I hope she likes it. I'm going for the French chateau look!

  8. Our curtains were all made from unbleached white Indian bedspreads. It's probably time they were changed, although I still like them.

  9. Kiss, I always think you trip on those that puddle.

    1. That is very true, they look quite glamorous but are a trip hazard.

  10. Yes, kiss. I always think that puddle looks as though they are waiting to be finished. The fabric looks like brocade, so probably not suitable to float.

    1. Yes I think I shall probably go for the kiss.

  11. I also think Kiss, as puddle looks untidy to me! However, kiss is harder to achieve and I seem to remember that a heavy fabric can drop over time.Good luck. I once made curtains that were full length and 3 widths in each..lined too. Never again...all that crawling round on the floor would finish me off!

    1. I used my kitchen island to do the cutting today, it was so much easier than crawling on the floor (which is what I used to do in the past!).

    1. Thank you Yael, that's kind of you to say that.

  13. That looks like lovely, heavy fabric! Will they be lined? I always much preferred doing sewing with small, manageable pieces of fabric. I always despised the crawling around on the floor for big projects. Good for you! -Jenn

    1. Yes, I always find it easier to make lined curtains. I've managed to cut the fabric this morning, tomorrow I will start joining the pieces. They are double width so lots of joins to make.
