new curtain
I finished a new curtain today for the bedroom. I have 3 to make, and this is the first one. This one is in a different fabric as the others, because I bought bolt ends and that's all I could find. Anyway, it's a nondescript enough pattern, and the colors match both the walls and the tape in the blinds.
This is the first time I've done any sewing since, hmm, definitely before Elliot was born. This is the first curtain I've made, and instead of following instructions, I just copied the existing curtain. That plan worked okay, but there were a few things I wish I had done differently. Like sewing the sides of the curtains (to hide the selvedge) *before* doing the curtain rod pocket. :) Eva came over this morning to help me out; she gave me lots of useful advice and the next two curtains should go a lot smoother.
