I have not posted much this weekend and now I can show you why. I spent my weekend learning new techniques to make a curtain for our bedroom! I started out with 2.5 yards of fabric, a couple 6 inch strips of black (that are the sides) and the remaining portion of the apron from the other day. I cut the top of the apron down into 8 inch by 2.5 inch strips, folded them in half and ran a quick stitch to hold them. I measured our window and added 3 inches on each side for my seam allowances. I put another layer in the middle to help with light, so I stitched them up like a sandwich. I went around 3 sides and on the top side, i inserted my now 4 inch strips into the upper seam and stitched them in. I turned the entire thing right side out and touched up where needed. I then went and installed in the bedroom and can officially say we have been invaded by dragonflies 🙂 I love the end result!!
Cute and should help keep the light out!
Stay tuned for the pillowcases I am   making… should be done soon!
