Yummy Ruffles

I am one step closer to "finishing" my master bedroom makeover. Whew! It sure has taken a long time- and I am still not done. The project has taken on a life of it's own. I started with a very specific look in mind......and it has morphed into something almost entirely different. But I am loving it!

I have been on the search for curtains for the master bedroom. As you remember from my last post, I had several beautiful, vintage panels that I loved and wanted to use. Unfortunately, the thermal lining was a mess and after putting many hours and many failed attempts at pulling that lining off.......I gave up. I.do.not.have.the.time. Nope. So I moved on.

I had in my mind what I wanted for the windows but had a hard time finding it. Do you do that? Get something specific in your head as to what you want and then nothing else will do? I am that way. After searching high and low with nothing matching what I had envisioned I decided I would just make my own curtains!!!

Here they are in all of their finished, yummy glory...

Oh! I am so happy with how they turned out!

They are exactly what I had hoped and more.

I love that they give us privacy but still look wispy and light when the sun shines through them.

I did not have a pattern. I guess you could say it's a Heather Original. Hah! I just thought out how I was going to make them and really took my time. Lots and lots of time. I have about 8 hours in these babies, and some of that time was spent figuring out the process. I have to work around kids nap schedules and other stuff so it wasn't like I got to just sit and sew straight through from start to finish. I think that actually added to the excitement. It was like getting to a good part of a great novel and then having to put it down for a bit. Anticipation!!!

The time spent was so well worth it. I adore my new curtains. I keep looking at them and I smile every time. I love waking up in the morning to see the sun streaming through them and how the ruffles seem to make the light bounce across the room. I love watching the breeze gently blow the curtains in a way that reminds me of my mother's and grandmother's curtains growing up. And they look amazing with the "look" that I am trying to accomplish in our room.

I have decided to start making and selling these curtains!!! Well, not my pair! They are now available for sale in our Etsy shop: 2Sisters1Love. Link at the sidebar.

So, what do you think? Have you completed a project lately? Please share!

Blessings,

Heather:)
