New Curtains

Posted by   on   / 9 comments 
Last weekend was spent wrestling what seemed like miles of fabric. The finished product was worth it though!



 I wasn't sure how the wool tartan would be with the velvet (ish) fabric but it turned out great. It was a nerve wracking experience though, the wool tartan is the most expensive fabric I have ever worked with!

    I love that Tartan, it's beautiful! Very Anta! Well done. I've made curtains twice (neither pairs full length) and had to make them at my mum's because I didn't have enough floor space to lay them out! We have very wide windows!

      It is a Moon tartan, still made in the UK with british wool without the insane Anta price tags (still bloomin expensive though)!!

    I love the tartan! It is really beautiful! Great job on the curtains - I know how hard it is to sew big pieces of fabric!
