Ready, Get Set, Sew!
JoAnn’s had a great sale on fabric this past weekend, so this week I have been busy sewing. I made valances for the kitchen, throw pillows for the family room and formal living room, and I altered my bedroom draperies to touch the floor. I added the red stripe at the bottom. After making my bedroom draperies I hung them all up and one of them was too long. I ripped out the seam and pinned it in place a quarter of an inch shorter. It was still too long. Then I tried a half an inch shorter and it was still too long. Alycia mentioned that I might want to measure the purple part that I bought at IKEA. That was it. One of the draperies was an inch and a half longer than the other three. Don’t you hate it when your project takes twice as long as you originally intended? I am happy with how everything turned out. It was really fun to find and match fabrics.

you GO! The additions look awesome. And I wouldn't have even thought you had to add the bottom fabric to the curtains in your bedroom. Totally looks like you bought them that way!
