Since we moved into our house a little over a year ago, we have been busy changing out our floor, staining cabinets, painting, etc. . My poor little window in our laundry room has been covered using a temporary paper curtain. I had a hard time finding a curtain that would fit let alone look good for that window. Then I decided I would venture out into the fabric store and pick some fabric that would really complement the room. It was time to dust off the sewing machine and DIY the curtains myself.
Before: Just looks so dark an gloomy
I started by measuring out my window and added an 1nch to each side to account for the fabric that would be sewn. I pinned it all up then ironed it get a nice seam to sew.
They have these pretty cool grommets you can add to your curtains at the fabric store. It comes with a stencil to keep everything uniform. Once you mark out where you want them, you just cut the hole out and the grommets just snap into place.
Not to bad for a beginner at the sewing machine. I think they turned out exactly the way I wanted.
Looks so bright and Happy!
A pretty simple DIY project but adds a lot of style and light. Actually makes me want to do laundry......well maybe WANT is a strong word.
