Today I tackled

curtain panels for my bedroom. I bought this fabric two springs ago, but was too afraid to make them. I'm not a professional seamstress, and measuring and cutting are not my forte. But, it needed to be done. Now, I would like to say that I enjoy sewing....when my machine is working right! I would have been done at least an hour earlier, but my machine kept messing up. Not so enjoyable.


But anyway, here is what my bed/window looked like before:





And here is what it looks like now:





Not exactly the impact I was going for, but maybe once I complete a few more projects, it will look more put together. I would have liked to use more of the brown patterned fabric, but I only bought a half a yard, so I had to make it work, (I went last Friday to see if they had more of this fabric, but they don't) I also need to buy new pillows and some other stuff, so that might help too.
Here's a close-up; although, the colors are way washed out...


So, that's it for today. I am off to shower, cook dinner, take the kids to karate, and then play a volleyball game later tonight.

All your projects have turned out great, and they look even better in person. I wish I had that creative talent.
