Sew what's new?

Soon to be posted: pictures of the family room and kitchen curtains! They're all done. 5 curtains in all; my very first sewing project! They are Waverly material, red and khaki. I know it's not as much fun reading about them as seeing them, so I will post pictures as soon as the last one is hung this weekend.

I kind of got distracted in the middle of finishing the last curtain and made 3 curtains for the loft/laundry room, which are all done and hanging up. They are a different material, white and reddish.

Meanwhile, I found fabric for the dining room curtains. The colors I found for that room are chocolate brown and white. The white fabric are these curtains I got at World Market, so I get to take a little shortcut. The material is thinner and more slippery, so I have a feeling there will be some "learning experiences" coming up.

Last of all, I was at IKEA (my guilty pleasure) last weekend with my mom and we found these really nice chocolate brown curtains with a textured pattern for our bedroom. I had not found anything for that room because I needed it to be dark brown (to match the furniture and be background, because I like to change out our bedding colors from time to time) but not boring or ugly. I love that IKEA curtains come super long, and there's no need to even sew a stitch to hem them to the right length.

I seriously love playing little "curtain designer" for our house, but I will be glad when I get it all done and can just sit back and look at the finished project.
