curtains! finally.

i did it! after months of this fabric sitting in my cupboard i finally made my curtains. and there’s even some leftover fabric for a pillow or two! yay.

so … what do you think?

i love them.

the process of sewing them was really smooth. i did learn a few things for the next time i made curtains. but there is no tutorial here. i’m just lucky they are made and hung. i loosely used this tutorial and this tutorial as a guide.

and they are not perfect.

but perfect is overrated.

i love that i made them.

i love that they are original and that no other house in this whole world has curtains like these. there’s something to be said for that.

and i still love this fabric. and now i get to look at it everyday.

and for those of you that have a sewing machine that’s still in a box … or unused. don’t be afraid. trust me. if i can do it. you can do it.

and besides … what do you have to lose.

*UPDATE* the fabric is an antique store find – totally vintage.
