Drawing Room Curtains : :
A little over a week ago, after the kids were asleep, I decided it was time for me to make some new curtains.
I had found the most wonderful deal on Fabric.com for the 5 yards that I would need. I chose a fabric I have been searching for a need for ever since I began sewing in March --- Anna Maria Horner's Shadow in Ivory from her Drawing Room Collection.
I love, love this fabric! It was hard for me to resist one of her brighter prints, but I new this fabric with it's cream background, large floral print, with light brown and darker brown accents would be the perfect neutral I would need to balance out the insane amount of bright pillows I plan to make for this room next, of course. This fabric is also not as heavy as I had thought it would be. It's 100% cotton, much sturdier than a quilt weight, but has this wonderful sateen feel that makes it seem lighter than most Home Dec fabrics I have looked at.
I used this tutorial I found a while back at design*sponge for a little guidance, but didn't really need it. Making curtains is actually the easiest sewing project I have tried, but that may just be because of my helper. ♥
I actually decided to order another almost 5 yards of the same fabric. This time the fabric came from Fresh Squeezed Fabrics, at another incredible price!
I plan to use it to reupholster this chair I picked up last week. Yikes!
It will be the first time I attempt a project like this. Wish me luck, I'm going to need it. : )
