I decided to take the plunge and make some curtains. My house is desperate for some window coverings, but the cost of good drapery material has been prohibitive. Feeling more confident in my ability, I went ahead and purchased fabric and took the plunge.

I decided to start with the gameroom, which is now the mess that I call my studio (who doesn’t want to have their own studio?) because nobody ever goes upstairs. If I screw these curtains up, it won’t be that big of a deal.
Because the room is practically void of decoration, I only had one chair and couch to match the curtains. I blindly picked out material that I thought might match the crazy chair. I figured if it didn’t match, I had 3 other bedrooms that I could make use of this material in.. but it turns out, it matched it perfectly!
This is all in preparation for making drapes for my 20 foot wall-of-windows in the downstairs living room.
I’m a little more confident that I can do it, now. I’m keeping an eye open for the perfect material. You can’t rush these things. We also need a taller ladder, our 14 footer isn’t tall enough!
It’s been awhile since I’ve made these curtains, but I still haven’t got the guts to make the giant ones. I’ll have to look into that as a winter project.
For now, back to bag making!
