Curtains

Materials: Cotton fabric and black out material
Notes: My husband and I bought our house a little over two years ago, and I've just finally gotten around to making curtains.

Craft room curtains. The walls are bright orange (the paint color is named tiggeriffic), which makes me very happy. I didn't have enough of the orange print, but I found the coordinating blue as one side of a pre-quilted fabric. Then I spent a very long time unquilting it. The other side has since become a purse.

 Man Cave curtains. I made these out of a sheer organza I found on clearance and some soft denim. After straightening the organza the curtains came up a bit short. That's okay because the sofa is parked directly in front of this window and you can't see the bottom of the curtain anyway.

  Bedroom curtains and blackout liners. The photo is really off for this . In the picture the two fabrics show a lot of contrast, but in person it's not as stark. I'm really pleased with how these turned out. So much hem tape for the liners. Sigh

Recovered Brocade Sewing Box

Materials: teal brocade fabric and glue  
Notes: I bought this sewing box on clearance. It's a really nice box and probably made it to clearance because of the fabric that was originally on it (see nasty pink high heel fabric on the right). I love it now. It's so shiny.
