New Curtains
Right after we moved here, I made some really lame curtains for our living room windows out of several different pieces of fabric and those clip-on curtain rings.
Well, I got so sick of drawing those ugly curtains day after day, so it was time for some new ones. I found some queen-sized duvet covers at Marshall's that were made from just the kind of fabric I was looking for.
So I sewed a thin strip of fabric on the top from the extra pillowcases that came with the duvet covers (to make them the right length), cut some small slits for the rod to go through, and voila! New curtains. My morning routine of drawing the curtains just got a little more interesting.
And I got this pillow for $3.50 at Steinmart the other night. I like it's texture.

very pretty. i've been putting off some curtain making myself...you've motivated me. if you can do it with 3, I can do it with 2:)
your house is so beautiful. and so are the pictures of it.
I love looking at your blog and seeing all the creative things you are doing! So talented!
Im so glad we moved to Cleveland too. I have to say the ward here has been such a pleasure. So many quality people to get to know!
I didn't study graphic design, I just kind of picked it up after getting laid off last year. I laugh because people who actually know what they are doing would probably laugh at my 5 year old designs.
Anyway, I am sure I will be checking in often. Keep up the awesome blogging! (and sorry for the essay...)
I noticed your curtains at the baby shower and thought how pretty they were. You'll have to show me how to make some from sheets. I've been looking for some good ones and can't seem to find any that I like.
Once again, you manage to pull off a great look with your creative eye and sewing skills. Great job, Sarah! I like the new curtains.
