Handmade Monday - White Linen Transformation

Morning everyone! Handmade Monday already, where does the time go?! Make sure you pay 1st unique gifts a visit and sample some of the wonderful creative talent on offer.

Those of you who have been around these here parts before may remember this ......

Well now some of it looks like this.........

and this......

with these.....

I feel I can now relax slightly and not have to worry about cats with muddy paws, boys with heavy schoolbags and cups of very rich coffee going anywhere near this gorgeous white linen. I was very pleased with how they turned out and more importantly so was my customer.

Part 2 of the project starts now and the next request has been for a matching Roman Blind. I'll keep you posted.

Happy crafting!!

Handmade Monday - Its Curtains for me!

Hello everyone and a very big welcome to some new friends. Hope you are enjoying the weather! I can almost hear my garden gulping down the rain. Good crafting weather though. Pouring rain means Jenny Murray, a table full of fabric and copius amounts of coffee. Having said that the sun is trying extremely hard to put in an appearance this morning.

Not a finished project this week, but the start of one. I am drowning in sumptuous quantities of white linen at the moment, about to start part one of an order for a set of curtains.

My customer wanted a crisp pleat that would hold it's shape down the length of the curtain, eventually pooling on the floor. She decided on a cartridge pleat heading which I mocked up (very roughly) for her approval.

So today I will be mostly, (fans of 'The Fast Show' will appreciate this remark), measuring and cutting and sewing up panels, Oh and of course popping over to see Wendy at 1st unique gifts to see what everyone else has been up to. Care to join me?

Thanks for calling. Have a good day.
