Tree Skirt In Progress

November 18th, 2008

I got a pretty good amount of work accomplished on the Tree Skirt, and I think I have about ten more panels to sew on, and about 18,000 strings to cut.

I’m going to finish the top with some Bias Tape, and hopefully this Skirt will be ready for the Christmas Tree.

The Curtains are Complete

November 15th, 2008

Finally, the Dining Room curtains are complete. I started on them early this morning, and I think it took me about 3-4 hours, and eleven yards of fabric, to finish the six panels.

I’m pretty pleased with how the project turned out, but I might go back and line the curtains. That will have to wait until another day though…

Now to get to work on that Tree Skirt…

Still Sewing

November 13th, 2008

I should have been working on the curtains, but instead I’ve finally finished sewing all of the panels for the Tree Skirt.

I pieced it together, but I’m still working out the details in my mind of how I’m actually going to sew it all together.

We’ll see how this projects goes, I hope to have it done soon, I had better have it done by Thanksgiving at least…

Did I Hear That Right…

Last weekend James was in the dining room and made a request. He asked for new curtains for all of the dining room windows, and told me to go shopping for the fabric. Really, shopping just for fabric?!? I made a special trip out yesterday, and picked up 11 yards for the curtains.

I also spotted a few Holiday fabric remnants to complete the tree skirt. I had better get to the projects, I hope that the boys will cooperate and be extra good for Mommy today.
