New Curtains

A week or so ago I picked up fabric for new curtains at Ikea. I really shouldn't say new... They are 'replacing' my currently non-existent curtains. Lets just say thank god I know of no peeping toms in my neighborhood.
So, anyways, I spent my free time yesterday & today sewing up curtains for my two windows. I had a bit of challenge because Ikea seems to think that people want 18" wide fabric with the sides pre-hemmed. My windows are 34" wide, so I had to add side panels. I also didn't want to get rid of the old seams, so the overlapping area did get a bit bulky. However, they're curtains! I think they can be a bit oddly put together as long as they block the morning sun & look decent with my decor.

I love them! The photo was taken in the door to the class room, not at my home. However, my walls are a gray colored cement. I have lots of purple & green plus some Indian & African inspired wall hangings, so I think they will look good when I hang them up tomorrow. I really went all out with these curtains, all the edges are enclosed & the curtains are lined.

Not as fancy as Grumperina's mitered corners, but quite practical.

My cats were in a photographic mood this morning, so here are some cute cat photos.

BTW check back this weekend for a big shop update. I'm adding a shopping cart, 3 new patterns, knitting bags, new colors of self-striping sock yarn, plus some extra bonus items!
