New Curtains

PK and I were at JoAnn Fabrics Sunday when I spotted this wonderful brown and teal upholstery fabric.  It was on clearance for $9 a yard.  I figured we could use a little more color in the living room (our main colors are browns accented with teal).  I was pretty excited.  After cutting out 5 yards, I found it was only $4.50 a yard! Dang it.  I could have bought more to make pillows or something.  Anyways.....  We just wanted to add 2 side curtains, so I made some to look like the ones I had hanging-tab tops and all.....

Next time, I will rethink tab tops. Making them is a pain!

After making all of the tabs and finishing my edges, it was time to space the tabs out!  Getting closer.....

Finished!  Not too shabby if I do say so myself!

At first I was hesitant putting the 2 patterns so close together but they don't clash too badly.  I love what they add to the living room!



Off to the next project.... I have my heart set on redoing my duvet cover.  Initially I painted the bedroom to go with a quilt my mom was going to make for me.  Greys and mustard yellow.  But it has now been 4 years I think since she had it pieced together. I am not holding my breath on getting it any time soon.  So I'll make my own I guess. Maybe I'll get that in tomorrow.
