First Home Sewing Project

I made curtains!!! The whole reason I ever wanted to learn to sew was to make things for my home, however, it took having a little girl to actually get me into sewing finally. But a year after I started sewing I have now undertaken the task of making some drapes for our bedroom.

First of all let me tell you that sewing for Kate is easier then sewing these drapes. I realize all I did was sew a rectangle together and tie it up. You are just dealing with so much more fabric and cutting a straight line...well straight is completely relative!! I have also never been so nervous sewing a straight line before. I was just worried about doing something wrong and then could you imagine having to rip out all those stitches?

I turned the kitchen into my sewing room for this project. With so much more fabric being used it was nice to have the extra room.

And wha-la....here are our new drapes in our room. (thank you Kimmie for the inspiration and idea from little Isaac's room)
