Curtains...

While my mom was in town I roped her into helping me with some curtains. I've made lots of curtains over the years. More recently I've made these and these which both used a hidden tab top.

However, my living room curtain had to be different. The curtains for my living room were being hung on an industrial rod (here) which meant I needed to create a curtain using drapery hooks so I would have the capability to remove them on the off chance that some disobedient child used my curtains as a napkin. Luckily, I've trained my kids better than that but just in case they have a lapse of judgement.

Life with Fingerprints: DIY lined curtains using drapery hooksI had my mom assist me in making ten button holes on the top of each panel (modeled after a set I bought at Pottery Barn Kids a few years back) for the drapery hooks to slide into; the hooks we used didn't have a sharp edge to pierce the fabric. I've had the best of intentions of making these curtains for over a year now with no progress. My mom was able to give me the necessary push to get them done. It's amazing how some fabric can transform a room. Love them. *I purchased the fabric at tonicliving.com

  1. They look amazing. I think curtains are tricky because you'll notice if they aren't even. I'm a little sloppy with the sewing. Fun project for you and your mama.

  2. I love the fabric! I have been looking for a fun, simple design like this for a while. May I ask where you purchased it? They look awesome. It's great to have a crafty mom, isn't it?

  3. Hi Kara, Please can you let me know the name of this fabric as I can't seem to find it on the web page that you gave?

    1. I went back to my original order and found the name and sadly it doesn't look like they have it anymore. I saw that they have a remnant in the gray (http://www.tonicliving.com/REMNANT-Bethe-Pearl-P3080.aspx) but not the "Robin's Egg" color I purchased. I do know that it was a Braemore fabric and it was original named Bethe. Hope that helps!
