I love my new cuff! I found the vintage trim a few months ago at one of my favorite Land O’ Lakes thrift stores. The center fabric was a remnant piece of home decor fabric from Joanns and the base fabric was left over from my dish towels. I covered a button with the same blue fabric and made a little loop to hold it together. This entire project cost me less than $2 and took less than an hour.

Curtains Two Ways

Published on July 26, 2011 by Yvette8 Comments

Curtains are one of the easiest and fastest ways to warm up a room. Naked windows can be great when you have a fantabulous view, but for the most part, windows need a little dressing.

Sewing curtains is just 4 straight seams all the way around! You can do it in 1/2 and hour or less.

Four little seams go a long way (and save a lot of money!).
Or even easier…use something that is already made.

You all saw Yvette’s tea towel curtains, this is my take on the same concept. An ode to my hometown (Tampa) makes its home in my Nashville powder room. I used some twisted sticks I found at JoAnn’s to create a unique and inexpensive curtain rod.
