I know it’s been a while since I posted anything. I have been recouping from all that painting I did the last time Ed was in California. He has actually been doing some painting and adding more crown molding. We ran out of wall paint so I can’t post about that just yet. 
A couple of weeks ago I bought some paint drop cloths with the intention of making curtains. I finally got them done yesterday. They weren’t hard but I had not been motivated. My windows had been naked for a while and I finally had enough of it. I made 4 panels out of a 12 x 9 drop cloth. It was two 6 x 9 drop cloths sewed together so I took out the seam and cut them to 3 x 9 pieces. I have yet to hem them but I kinda like them all gathered on the floor.
The one in the bathroom I had to cut to fit the window and I made the tie ups with more drop cloth. I really like how these turned out and it is such an inexpensive material to use! No, it’s not perfect but that ‘s what I like most about it!
We have not even begun to work on painting our room and bathroom yet so please excuse the orangey trim and boring walls.
I hope everyone is having a great week so far!
Linking to these parties:
Great job! I really like it. I love drop cloth texture. I have a bunch of pillows made from them, and they add such a nice rustic texture.
ReplyDeleteThese curtains look lovely! I've brought some drop cloth to line the curtains I'm going to make for my boys room, but seeing these I want make these instead!
