It made me not want to sew anything ever again. A few months later, I worked with easier fabric and really enjoyed it. Your curtains look great, and the lining will help with temperature control and will prevent fading.

Far Guy helped too. Honestly great job! The only person that knows they aren't even is really you so who cares the door is covered. Me and the seam ripper are great friends couldn't sew without it. My daughter wanted me to make a nap mat cover, I asked what the heck is that?? She described it and gave me the measurements said she wanted it out of flannel and a pillow attached. All of this to someone who sews by the seat of her pants<br />No pattern to be found! So I am not finished yet. I'll let you know how that turns out!! <br />Congrats, On your great job!!!demaincahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01466887157349356693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-58492887698995777682010-01-07T13:02:09.111-06:002010-01-07T13:02:09.111-06:00You get my vote!

I really want something like a roll-up shade because I love looking outside all day but then want the privacy at night. I love the way you did yours on the french doors.

We get to snoop into all your stuff on the shelve this way. It is always fun to see people through the things they collect. I like the green jar with lid, that I assume came from one of those Kitchen Klatter cupboards. The old photo on the wall is an interesting one too. You should blog it's history. I like your house, and it has been good to get the upstairs finished. I know what it takes to get around to it.L.
