Assignment: Curtains

My boyfriend has third shift for the rest of the summer. He has one big window that lets in too much light during the day for a proper sleep, so I've been assigned the task of blotting out the sun for him.

This is my first time sewing curtains. I went into the fabric store with specific dimensions, and then the yard-cutter (a wiser sewer than myself) suggested I leave room for seems. From then on I sheepishly let her draw up the appropriate lengths.




I decided to weigh down the bottom by folding the extra fabric over.
I've seen this on curtains often, without having registered it.

I learned to consider what side I'm sewing on.




This time I quit at 10:30pm, about halfway done.
