Hi Guys! Its been busy around here lately. Between work, birthdays, a wedding, and a visit from our good friend Hurricane Sandy, I haven't had much time to get things done around here. But falling snow and a chill in the air put some fire in my rear and forced me to get down and get some curtains made for the boys room.
I found this image on Pinterest and followed it to the instructions on a blog called "The Yellow Cape Cod".
To make my curtains I used: 4 blue curtains (Thanks Amy), a large tube of liquid stitch, red ribbon, and instead of a heavy linen table cloth as recommended in the original instructions, some canvas duck fabric for the stars.
I decided on seven stars for each curtain, so I traced the star 28 times onto my cotton duck fabric with a sharpie.
Whats worse than tracing 28 stars? Cutting 28 stars!!! But after cutting out all the stars, I was almost done. Using the Liquid Stitch, I glued the stars and the red ribbon trim onto the curtains...and...
Ta Da - curtains that match the boys bedding!!
Finally - this house looks like we are starting to make some progress!!!
