I've got to post this because I was just so excited about it and some of my friends were not able to see the pictures that I sent them via email.
I am not a sewer. I've tried to learn in the past, but I just don't have time to practice.
So this is my story about sewing...
I recently decided to redecorate my bedroom...wanted to since we moved in last October. I also wanted to do it cheaply. I found everything I wanted for a good price, except for curtains. I just think they are outrageously priced. I remembered my mom had some made out of sheets when I was younger, but I didn't know how to sew. Then I remembered my cousin made her curtains with something called liquid stitch because she doesn't sew either. I already had some of that because I bought it a couple of years ago thinking I might use it. So I went to Wal-Mart and found some twin sheets on clearance for $4.00!! I looked at the dimensions, and it was just what I needed to make two panels. I wouldn't have a lot of excess! I took them home...washed and ironed them...cut just a little off of the bottom...cut them up the middle to make two panels...used my liquid stitch for a small hem at the bottom and on the side...and hung them!! My hems are at the bottom and on the outer sides, so they are hidden. :) I was so pleased with them. The best part was they were only $2.00 a panel, for a total of $8.00!!!! That's only 10% of what I would have paid for them! I promised some friends who tried to view them and couldn't that I would post the pictures on the blog. Here they are...
