Ruffled Curtains

I have been wanting to make drapes for my studio for a while.

I have some great Amy Butler fabric that would be so cute but I

went with white panels from Ikea since I have so many

colors and patterns in this room.

It would have been a bit too much!

(I know the pic isn't very good. Ignore the well used trampoline in the backyard)

They needed a little something more!

I bought a set of sheer panels from Ikea and

cut them to create 10" ruffles.

Then I gathered them and attached them to the bottom of the curtains.

I thought about going all the way up the curtains with ruffles but I loved how

it looks with just 4 on the bottom.

They also gave me the added length that I needed.

The curtains were about 6" too short.

They are perfect for my studio!

Re-purpose Sweater Wrap

I to a sweater that I have had for years and cut off the bottom just under the armpits. Serge the raw edge. Fold & pin. Turn under the serged side and sew along to finish off the bottom edge. I gathered down one side using a gathering stitch from the top to the bottom. Sew it with a regular 2.5 stitch to secure it. I took about a yard of black satin ribbon and gathered down one side. Then wrapped it around into the shape of a flower. Sewed through the center to secure it. Then added some left-over sweater piece for the center of the flower. And finished it off with some beads. I can't wait to wear it with the new black dress I just bought!
