Our daughter's room was lacking on the curtains department I've been putting it off because i didn't know what she would like and went i mean her i also mean me {she is very opinionated as her mama} so a year past and no luck on what to buy or even what fabric until one day i was reading the doctors closet blog and she put on the home tour of her office it was instantaneous connection to her drapes !! i want add that my office/is also very similar as her {home office tour very soon } i want to add that since i don't want any confusion of "
Materials:
*Fabric variation of pinks and whites
*thread
*fabric chalk
*measuring tape
*measuring ruler
*scissors
*pins
*sewing machine
*pomp pomp trim
*clip rings
*drape rod
Cost :
*free {since i had everything already }
*But i calculated and buying this fabric from joins or any fabric store will cost you about 8 to 12 dollars a yard{i used 8 yards of each fabric} {no i didn't buy it there i actually buy my fabric in rolls from a private seller} the pomp pomp trim as well but you can buy it at joins ,hobby lobby , Michael's for about 4 to 6 dollars a yard. {i used 9 1/2 yards of the trim } not counting any discounts that they might have . {the pomp pomps trimming as well as the fabric i get in in bulk from the same private seller in case y'all where wondering }
Time :
*5hrs
*4 hrs of cutting sewing and 1 hour of washing and drying the fabric.
Step 1: i needed to cut each pice of fabric into 8 yards then cut half to make each panel into 4 yards because thats what i need for each window .
Step 2: was to cut { I marked and cut 22 inch long on each fabric giving me a lot of extra fabric to cut and adjust later if i needed since each color had to be 18 inch long }
Step 4:sawing time {
Step :5 i sew in the pomp pomps trimming witch to me was the icing on the cake and the most fun part of the project . {i added the pomp pomps because i wanted to give it a girly feeling not that the pink didn't but just the pink wasn't doing to for her until the pomp pomps came in to the picture } .
Step :5 {not showed} was to put this babies in the washing machine and then air dried {you can put it in the dryer but i decided not to since it was such a wonderful day out and i know i would take about 15 minutes to air dry why not right }?? going green !! \
Step:6 i used the clip rings i had and stared hanging it them onto the rod {
Step : 7 hang and enjoy the view
She is in love and so am i ... {lets have a pink palooza kind of party .} you are invited
Ps:her bedroom tour is coming up very soon as well so stay tune.
