I'm taking a break from my projects this week. Today it's deep cleaning DS' bedroom. With his assistance. But still.
Yesterday I made a satin edged blanket from two pieces of fleece for DD. The top layer is mostly blue with mermaids in pinks, purples and like a tealy-blue color. The back is a darker pink and the edges are purple satin. She picked it all out a long time ago. I just got around to doing it! I'm not an expert and it's not perfect; but shes happy. I messed up doing the corners so I had to fudge it a bit. It still looks ok; but not technically like a quilt should be. It's only my 3rd time doing that. I should have gone back to the YouTube video I learned from to refresh my memory.
The colors aren’t quite accurate. My bedding is white at the top.
Now I need to make the curtains for both our bathrooms. I got some seriously cute Minnie Mouse fabric for the kid's bathroom that I'm going to turn into cafe curtains. I already got a shower curtain and a few bathroom accessories. I can't do a bath mat for them because Noodles' pees on those.
I'm doing cafe curtains for my bathroom in purple and grey. I don't want to block light so cafe curtains should help. We have shades; but it's so plain in there.
The thing that has me stalling on the curtains is that I want to line them so the fabric doesn't fade. I have leftover lining material from when I lined our kitchen and dining room curtains. I guess I just need undisturbed time to just sit and do it! Or stand...because my table is too tall to sit and sew at. But it does make cutting and pinning fabric a little less backbreaking. My BFF is an awesome seamstress and designs a lot of vintage style clothing. At this point I almost want to ask her to do it all. I know I can figure it out; but I'm not so good that I can just whip stuff up.
Did I mention it's our last week of summer break? Nothing like the last minute right?
