it saddened me that i hadn’t had new curtains for the longest time. and, suddenly, it gladdened my heart when last saturday, when i was rummaging things in the storage, found and idea to re-do some old curtains of my mom.
here’s what i sewed during the weekend…
found silk fabric from my mom’s old sheets and i transformed them into little blue swags which i paired off with white sheer chiffon to create drama on a false window. then i added also mom’s old room curtain with blue prints and sewed them pleated style.
viola! my DIY curtains with zero dollar spent!
i fancy those made to order modern silk and lacy curtains, but since i have no budget for that, i may have to used up my sewing ability to come up with something that would fancy my pockets. this way, my blue-themed curtains “newly” hangs in my windows…

What you designed looks very nice to me. You probably would not have found any in stores that looked any better. Nice job.
