I am flubbing my way through some simple projects (pillow cases, mostly) and vowing to keep at it. I figure I can only improve, right? ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071079160692738878.post-27103312697894443692015-04-04T23:19:26.883+01:002015-04-04T23:19:26.883+01:00Glad it's not just me! I've been working ...Glad it's not just me! I've been working for THREE MONTHS - yes months, on curtains for the bedroom. I got this great idea that I'd make them out of sheets and use it as a Tutorial for my blog - ha! Problem is - I have no talent for sewing, no time to do it, and no sewing machine! Well, I finally broke down and bought one, but it's been sitting in the entryway for about a month now (sigh). And sheet material - is thin and not cut squarely at all and the pattern is printed on it crooked. I can't figure out how to cut it, so here comes my hubby with a T-square and a ton of masking tape and together we managed to get the valances and one curtain panel cut out. At this point, I'm weighing the idea of hiring someone off of Etsy to sew them for me and take back the unopened sewing machine. This may be more frustration than I can handle!
