curtains!

Finally, I've finished the curtains for my sewing room. Here's one side (doesn't Gladys look nice?)...

Both sides (I know, the lamp is ugly...but it is loved)...

And open! Isn't this fabric just plain awesome?! I don't really like sewing drapes, but at least they turned out well.

into the realm of reupholstery

Well, we were going to use this fabric to slipcover this chair, but decided playing with a staple gun sounded much more fun. Look how awesome this turned out!

Action footage!

more dots!

We interrupt this sewing blog to bring you a tad bit of reupholstering mayhem.

wedding dress curtains

So...last Thursday I became the proud owner of my first house! Life is somewhat crazy and the sewing adventures will have to take the backseat for a little while...at least until I've unpacked in my new sewing room. (Which might become orange, if all goes well!)

However, my new house did sport these absolutely lovely layers of lacy curtains, circa 1968, and they just beg to be turned into something with high levels of awesomeness. I was wracking my creative brain, and then it hit me--there's enough curtain in the living room alone to make a wedding dress! A lovely, lacy, and slightly polyester gown of elegance and high style.


Or at least it would be lacy and polyester. Should I go for it? I have always enjoyed The Sound of Music. Here's my chance to give Maria a shout-out.
