I tried shopping for new curtains. I really did, only to end up at the thrift store. I purchased a set of heavy cotton panels for $7, instead of $20 for one rather ugly panel at a department store. After cutting one of the panels to the right length and hemming it, I perused my stash finding a favorite orange print and grey kona to give it some pop. I really would not have thought of putting orange and grey together, but since I usually have time to sew at night when fabric stores are closed, one must make due. A little cutting of strips, a little ironing, a smidge of sewing and voila. New curtains. And new favorite colors. Orange and grey.

ReplyDeleteI'd like a beginner (and I mean beginner) tutorial on this, please.
ReplyDeleteI love the orange panel, it looks very similar to my favourite Washi Japanese tape. Very pretty.
ReplyDeletethis would totally sell in your etsy store! i wonder if you can do more things like this?
