living room curtains + FABRIC!

23 November 2010

I have had lots of inquiries about the fabric for my living room curtains. I got it from Fabric.com ~ it is the Waverly Ellis Hemp. I cut the 54” width in half to make 2 panels out of each section. They are not huge and fluffy, but they frame the windows nicely and the price was right for $40 for all 4 panels!


Of course I didn’t sew. I just used fusible web tape (or stitch witchery) that you find in the sewing aisle at Walmart. Iron the tape onto the fabric with the paper side up:
lr curtain 1
Let it cool a little, then take off the paper (my favorite part)lr curtain 2
Then fold the fabric over the tape and iron and it “fuses” it all together. lr curtain 3
Crisp curtains ready to be clipped up! My husband thinks I’m obsessed with the word “crisp.” Crisp curtains, crisp air outside, crisp apples, crisp leaves, telling him he’s speaking in a rather crisp voice…..lr curtain 4    I had never ordered from Fabric.com before, but look at these fabrics! Pure loveliness.
Look for Home Decor fabric at the top in the blue bar----->then click designer ----->to see beautiful fabric from P. Kauffman, Amy Butler, Robert Allen, and more!

(the small print: after I bought some fabric from fabric.com I was thrilled with my experience, so I signed up as an affiliate, meaning I could get a small portion of sales that come from 320 Sycamore. All proceeds will go to fabric for melissa’s next project: the kitchen! I will never share anything with you that I haven’t tried  myself and loved and/or think is an amazing deal. promise.)
