It's Curtains

 Making curtains is like the most boring sewing there is, and I am so glad to be done with it. 
I was able to order two 8 yard bolts of this Waverly duck from the famous Walmart,
and then I set about carefully cutting the lengths to fit these windows. The print includes teal, chartreuse and pink, so I felt one more pattern in the room at least coordinated with the colors and being a smaller scale, I hoped it would work. 


 You may notice that the pattern lines up across these windows more or less. Strictly by accident. O I know all about repeats and careful measuring so that the pattern is matched, but did I put that into practice making these? NOOOOOOO. So two windows of the three line up, but the third does not. Duh. The house across the street always has the shades closed since it faces southwest and even tho it is winter and not blasting heat into their rooms, it is just a habit to keep them closed. I don't really need heat protection or privacy and I will keep mine open.
 It is more obvious when the curtains are drawn, and yet there is a fourth window in the dining area which matches the one set of unmatched panels. Not that it matters because they won't be next to each other. Grrrr. When they are all closed the room is quite dark since it faces northeast, and I prefer as much light as possible, so I'm leaving the curtains pulled aside and hopefully my mistake will be less noticeable.

  1. The curtain fabric is very pretty and works with the walls furniture. What if you put the mismatched set on the center window?

  2. Well, I sure didn't notice the unmatched panels in the photo with the curtains open, and suspect that if I was in your house enjoying the pleasure of your company (I've been following your blog for years and years) I wouldn't notice them even if the curtains were drawn!

  3. I agree, move the "mismatched" set to the center and it is design, not mismatch. Love this room. Thank you for sharing.

  6. I never would have noticed and they are really great with the rest of the room.

  7. I think it would be nice if you had a rod above the windows, and then sewed the curtains into a pair that could be drawn to the outsides of all the windows. Hope that makes sense.

  8. I had never done anything like this in my life, but frustration led me to it after I lost €300,000 to a crypto company. They gave me login details to track my supposed profits, but whenever I tried to withdraw, the website kept asking for additional fees. That’s when I realized it was a scam. I begged them to return my money, but they eventually blocked me.
    I kept searching for help on how to recover my money, and I came across a review about a man called a “white magic master.” I explained everything to him, and he asked for screenshots and all the necessary details, which I provided.
    Long story short, I received an email from the scammer—claiming to be from a company—asking me for an account to refund my money, saying that a deadly spirit was chasing him. I sent my wallet address, and to my surprise, my money was refunded almost instantly.
    Now, I would recommend the white magic master to anyone who wants to recover lost money by any possible means. Even if someone owes you a debt, I strongly recommend him.
