It's Curtains For Me

I made some curtains for Helen's bedroom.


Nordika and Kona pomegranate. I think I need to go have a lie down now. Suffice to say I will be making as few pairs of lined curtains as possible in my lifetime.

  4. I pondered doing lined curtains for my bedroom. Not sure I can handle the need for such accuracy.

  5. They look great and at least they are finished, just over 7 years ago I made curtains so that we could B in a bigger bedroom leaving the little room ready for the new baby. I lined them with blackout fabric and hung them waiting for them to settle before hemming the lining - they still haven't been hemmed!

  6. My mum makes curtains all the time, but doesn't really care to sew anything else - I think she has a problem, and you did great!

  7. Love the fabric ....posh window dressing.
    I've also finished curtains this weekend - good old Ikea fabric with big yellow flowers on, fully lined of course! Bent a couple of pins and bled all over them!

  8. Yep- the curtains in my bedroom cured me of wanting to do that again in a hurry.

    Helen's curtains do look fabulous though!

  9. Thank you for this - I feel the same way. I try and buy curtains as often as required. I know it's only straight stitching but still...

  13. Love the pomegranate with the Nordika x

    Made a few pairs of curtains for my gran a few years back. That was a labour of love. People ask me to make them curtains all the time - I tell them it's cheaper to go to Dunelm!

  14. curtains look great, I made curtains once and sewed the wrong side of the tape onto the curtains for my sister. Damn damn damn, still remember the annoyance 16 years on!

  17. They look wonderful! I think I've made one pair of lined curtains in my life and I'm not rushing to repeat the process...it was so boring!!

  18. The look fab, but my curtain making runs to hemming the premade extra-long ones from Ikea. And the ones in my living room I did with wundaweb, err, 10 years ago...
