...Oh my! I feel your floor pain. Really I do!!!!<br /><br />The curtains are so gorgeous! I LOVED reading all about the project! The fabric is beautiful and with those burnt orange walls??? Wow!!! Beautiful!<br /><br />I stink at painting. Stink. Cutting is done a little better only with scissors or a knife. Don't look at my cut-lines. Please! Yours are gorgeous!<br /><br />Daisies happen to my favorite too!!! I think I actually smelled them over the computer right after you mentioned it! Isn't that weird???<br /><br />So nice to meet you! You are very fun to read!!!<br /><br />~KoleinKoleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00248290873145151407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1594718005346435377.post-69413983100060053552010-07-16T01:28:47.218-04:002010-07-16T01:28:47.218-04:00So pretty!!

I know some projects take a long time, but all that matters is you did it! Woo hoo! I have a million that are no where near done. I'd love to have drapes like yours...first step, I need to learn to sew!

I agree constructing draperies is really a mental resistance game that your skills play on your will.<br /><br />I had the same situation with fabric layout on the floor and I completed the task for 26 window treatments in my home. There is nothing better than victory Victoria!

Doesn't it feel great creating something that saves you $$ because you can do it yourself?<br />I made some pinch pleat drapes but didn't use the pull-string-tape and then had to figure out every darn pleat by using good ol'high school math! After I finished I realized one drape panel is longer and need to re-hem by un-stitching all the pleats (they are embroidered fabric panels - that have pattern repeats that can't be fixed by hemming the bottom) <br /><br />That was 15 months ago and they are still hanging, one longer than the other - -gee I am bad! Your post just reminded me that I need to get on that ASAP!Barbara Matsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01687912436864826801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1594718005346435377.post-69379586057147007382010-07-12T18:06:31.123-04:002010-07-12T18:06:31.123-04:00great fabric! i love the pattern, beautiful job :)...great fabric! i love the pattern, beautiful job :)<br /><br />-Jackie<br />http://jaclyndesigns.blogspot.com/idesignhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18347393312112841222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1594718005346435377.post-26174968475738057792010-07-12T16:29:27.284-04:002010-07-12T16:29:27.284-04:00am so impressed.

I hadn't until this weekend and the episode I watched she used those drapes in a nursery. I wouldn't associate those drapes with a nursery but it really turned out great!<br />Also, I am the QUEEN of forever-long projects. I am sitting on a year old torn out bath right now. It drives me crazy. I blame it on my husband but realistically I need to take a little blame. :)Steph@TheGraniteGurushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06671867680855126655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1594718005346435377.post-45416457479587873722010-07-12T11:52:16.407-04:002010-07-12T11:52:16.407-04:00Victoria I'm so impressed but expected nothing...Victoria I'm so impressed but expected nothing less from you.

I think "some of us", "moi" in particular, can relate quite well! From one seamstress to another, do you notice the word spells "seam" and "stress"., I never knew that till now when I typed it. Well, there you have it! You're just living up to your name! haha! But you took the stress, shared it with your husband...and he gave you the solution you needed to end up with a totally FABULOUS end result! The design, color, and appearance of the drapes hanging in the dining room are chic! Love them! I've missed visiting your blog., sorry, it's been a long time due to having grandbabies and my job has been crazy this past year.
