Sew simple

This spring when I switched out my heavy winter curtains for the summer ones, the summer versions looked too tired to hang up. Without thinking, I made a trip to Target, where I spent way too much money on curtains that were way too blah.

After hanging them up I realized that not only were they ugly, but I was going to have to hem them. Thinking about sewing reminded me of the tubs of fabric I inherited this winter from my sister-in-law.

D'oh!

In my defense, my usual stash tends towards the small pieces of crazy prints, so I assumed I didn't have anything that would work for curtains. But to my happy surprise, I came up with plenty of suitably plain fabric plus interesting scraps to jazz them up.

Now I just need to find time to return the very expensive rejects to Target!
