Curtains done

I hemmed the second study curtain today.
They don't look very level, for some reason which is not entirely clear to me.
Maybe they need a press and some nice tiebacks. Anyway they will be OK for now and I can get on with some garment sewing. I must admit that I only see garment sewing for me as FUN, and all the rest is work, so curtains, PJs for DH, alterations etc are not fun for me at all.

Anyway now I can move on to something in my new summer colour of lime - probably not the wild lime/turq/black/white print as I am still deciding what is the best course on that - I think it will be a mock wrap knit top from the lime/white print. I think that will be a smart work look for me.

Updated to add. Its been a successful evening. I cut out the Jalie crossover top in the white and lime print poly knit and have it completed except for the hems. I am very pleased with it and love TNTs.

Curtains done


The living room curtains are done, and are now waiting for hubby to take down the old blinds and out up the new curtain rail.... so no photos of the curtains at the moment.
What can I say, they are gold with a lighter gold script pattern on them, cotton unlined curtains - nothing very exciting. Curtains are a different beast to garment sewing I think because its all off calculations of how much fabric you need, but the seams are all simple, yet the volume is hard to handle.

I am supposed to be making muslins but instead have a hankering to sew New Look 6545 in an ivory sweater knit as a cowl neck sweater. That will have to wait though as I need to make dinner.... wonder what is in the freezer?
