Kitchen Curtains

I can’t believe that I actually completed them. It was a long road which consisted of obstacles like not purchasing enough fabric, buying more, incorrectly cutting said fabric so that the pattern would be sideways, crying (a little), stating that I was never going to attempt this again, bolstering myself up to give it another try, revamping my “design,” purchasing MORE fabric and actually cutting/sewing. I measured MANY times and cut once. I again remembered why I’m not a HUGE sewer - all the freaking ironing you have to do. Seriously. It’s outrageous.

Blah, blah, blah, here they are in all their glory.

In the evening:

During the day:

Notice that I kept it real with the dishes next to the sink. I’m no blogger with a perfect house, that’s for sure. And I was going to take a picture with them open, but it’s only a view of the side of an apartment building and the neighbor’s balcony. No one cares about that. They’re just white cotton on the top, but on the bottom I used Tea Cups in Gray by Melody Miller. LOVE! I was originally going to make them entirely out of the tea cups fabric, but then the whole cutting thing happened (why isn’t there a Ctrl-Z in real life???). But, in the end, I’m really happy with how they turned out. They create a really soft light too. Much better than the awful vertical blinds. Blecht. Those things are straight from the devil.

Thankfully, all the remaining windows already have “real” curtains and the vertical blinds are no more. That means I don’t have to make any more curtains for a while. Woohoo! I do have a few other projects on the horizon, though. Obvs.
