Another boring day at work left me craving some craft time when I got home. So after a hasty late supper of leftover egg bake I decided (since Sky's at her dad's) to work on her curtains. I had thought I was done but upon seeing them up on the window I decided they needed some more work. The basic construction I have so far is 3 purple panels that are adequate in length but don't have sufficient coverage. I initially added 2 slightly longer, narrower panels in the pink gingham that I used to cover the valance. I didn't have enough of the gingham to make any more additional panels from it. So this evening was spent measuring, cutting, and pinning 2 new purple panels to fill them in a little. I embellished the center panel with a folded layer of green tulle down both sides and used the rest of the unfolded tulle to embellish the casing at the top of all 3 original purple panels. Now I'm wondering if, once these 2 new panels are sewn, will I need to get more tulle to go along the casing? Or would it look stupid if I put the 2 new panels on either side of the center panel therefore staggering the tulle embellishment at the top? The question I should be asking is why I'm staying up so late when I have to work so early...at least I can fall asleep brainstorming a solution to my crafty conundrum.
And yes, there will be pictures of the curtains...I've taken a few so far but I'd rather save the big reveal until they're completed and hung with the valance (which btw is awesome!).
