I finally had time to hem these drapes for my son. Several months ago we ordered them for an unbelievable price. Well worth having to hem them! Yes, I know they were clearanced because pinch pleated thermal drapes are out of style. But my son is somewhat old fashioned and definitely practical. Good for him.
Out of the six windows only the living room actually fit. The bedroom windows all needed to be shortened and by splitting panels in half I was able to use one set for two smaller windows. Less money = more work. But did mention what a bargain they were?
Now that I finished hemming them and my dog finished inspecting them, (he could not see what I was up to on the sewing table), it is on my son to buy new curtain rods and take down the old to hang all new window treatments. Trust me they needed replacing. Meanwhile, I have been watching for the steamers to go back on sale again as I missed the last sale by an hour! The living room drapes have been hanging for a few months and most of the wrinkles have come out but a good steaming should take care of the stubborn creases.
Another project completed!

I like the pattern on the curtains and know you put a lot of TLC into them for him. So glad you are able to do almost anything and to get a great sale, how nice. I like the afghan behind then on your chair. Schatten is so cute in this photo. Is this a chair he likes to sit in? I like the photo a lot, he is definitely inspecting. Another project done. Good for you.
This love seat is not for Schatten. He has is own chair which is covered. The afghan is actually one I made back in the 70's as you can tell by the colors! This is in the studio where I sit back and contemplate when I am working out a jewelry design or relaxing with books.
Ok, so Schatten is just inspecting and it is not his chair. I would not know an afghan from today or from years ago. Nice place to sit.
