But on the inside....I'm continuing the curtain making saga. I decided to buy my fabric for the great room sliding doors. This way I can customize the length and it's much more cost-effective! I was ready to dust off my sewing machine and then I came across hem tape! When I hung my dining room curtains from IKEA, I couldn't believe they weren't hemmed. I thought...."hmmm, that's weird", and hung them anyway. Then...oila! (sp?) (pronounced wa-la!) In the bottom of the bag was this white webby stuff folded up. When looking back at the directions (after I'd hung them of course), it showed that you could IRON a hem! Now, I know most of you are thinking, "Are you serious? You'd never heard of this?" But I promise, I hadn't! It has changed my world. Curtains, pillows, pants, the possibilities in this house are endless. Look out! Here are pics of the process.
First I ironed a crease...
Then I slipped in the hem tape...
Then ironed them shut and clipped on the hooks...
And...the finished product!
What projects are you working on this weekend?
