New Curtains

My wonderfully talented sewing mother came down this weekend for her birthday party.

We had the best time. But I selfishly put her to work..

My curtains in the living-room needed a revamp of color scheme.

So I showed her all the fabulous fabrics

that she was sure

could never possibly go together,

and she measured (twice and cut once)

and whipped them out for me.

I love LOVE love them...

I found the most perfect piece of vintage turquoise floral fabric at a flea market for 25 cents.

It was an old table cloth, and was a wonderful texture and weight.

Added some of my other favorite stuff... AND wham...

New curtains..

I will take a picture of the finished product this week to post.

I am trying my best to get mother to join me in a custom curtain/pillow making business.

Of course she would get the YUCK end of that deal since I just want to have the ideas, and she do the sewing... haha

Mix up something that doesn't go together, and just see how fabulous it turns out to be.
