I'm so excited to share with you my first completed set of curtains that I sewed all by myself! My grandmother would've been super proud:) She was an amazing seamstress that made most of my mother and aunts dresses while growing up and tons of dresses for me and my sisters while we were little girls. I confess I have totally been bit by the sewing bug! I am so ready to take on lots more projects which I will definately be sharing with you. So without further ado, here are the finished curtains!
And yes I know my sheers don't coordinate so well with the new curtains so I will be replacing those soon with a plain sheer in an off-white probably.
Here they are totally closed which I don't really like the look of but just thought I'd show you. I didn't get the pattern to line up exactly but hey for my first project I'm happy with it.
I also completed a couple of throw pillows with an envelope back using a great tutorial I found on Youtube! Check out the tutorial from Vanessa at Crafty Gemini here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhZnHhbcN-Q . She also has tons of other sewing tutorials her at http://www.craftygemini.com/
Please ignore my naked Ikea chair, I need to steam my slipcovers but didn't have time before taking the photo's. Here's a closeup of my pillow cover with the sweet william fabric
And that's it! Thanks so much for reading!
they look great, kelly! love those colors and the pattern!

ReplyDeleteGreat job! I love the finished look - even if the cover isn't on your chair. It looks relaxing and inviting.
ReplyDeleteKelly - I can't believe you made those! Courtney from A Thoughtful Place recently bought pillows in that fabric and I've been in love ever since - so pretty, so pretty! Great job - the window looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome. I can't believe you made those. Did you make the pillows too?
