And beyond that, I've been sewing home dec. No way! The windows in this bedroom have not been covered in the twelve years I've lived here. I figure someone would have to really be a pervert, and eight feet tall, to sneak through the woods, over the creek, and tiptoe up to this window. And then see me. What a disappointment. But now I'm having several guests, so I sewed up some curtains.
The best part is the fabric came from my Sewing Guild's fabric swap and not only was the right color, it was $1 per yard. Four yards of a silky faille-like mystery fabric from the stash gone.

nice curtains hope your guest appreciate the effort - like the blouse too (not too frilly)
You look lovely Carole! more power to you for sewing home dec. I do not enjoy that kind of sewing much, but I do need to bite the bullet to make some new throw pillow covers for the couches. Ick.
The blouse looks great - sometimes we need a little 'frilling up' and this blouse does it nicely.
I also have just made some curtains with the same tops as yours (must blog a picci.) Did you use the ready made tape that came with the rings in it????
Great top - looks fab.
Judith, I didn't even know there was ready made tape. Too late now, but the rings were from Dritz and really easy to install.
Cute top and what a score on the curtain fabric. I recently bought new fabric to make new curtains, duvet and dust ruffle for my bedroom. I'll be happy once I get it finished, but there are so many other things I would rather do :)
