I have been sewing feverishly this week to finish my bedroom drapes, and I am almost completely done with them! I really need to get serious and find some hardware for these beauties.
I had every intention of looking for drapery rings after I left work this evening, but I had a little problem.
These babies.....
They are nearly five inch heals and I wore them for almost 10 hours today!
Towards the end of the day I thought my toes might fall off....haha...not sure why I'm laughing...it might be the pain talking......I just couldn't bring myself to go shopping after a day like that!
What we suffer for fashion!
They are made by designer Claudia Cuiti { made in Italy } and cost a fortune, and I do mean a fortune!
Were talking the price of a sofa!
So of course I had to wear them all day!
A girl's gotta get her money's worth!
Anyway I'm thinking I want to find some bamboo drapery rings, kinda like this, but white.
I don't mind spray painting them, but I wanted to see if I could find some locally before I ordered some online. Thats what I was planning on looking for after work tonight and those lovely shoes got in the way!
So here are a few pictures of my lovely new drapes I'm almost finishes with, all I have left is to hem them.
I don't have a ton of experience in sewing, more so then most people I guess. I took a theater class, costume design, in college and learned how to create custom patterns to fit the clothing that was needed for each play. While I did learn to use a sewing machine in that class, the majority of the items we made were hand sewn, so I am by no means an expert at using a sewing machine. But I have enough knowledge to create what I want, and I am so glad I ending up taking that class!
I did a little research online and found that
Isabella & Max has a great tutorial on how to make lined drapery panels! So I used her tutorial as a guide, and went from there.
I can't wait to find some drapery rings I like, I'm exited to see them in my bedroom!
I'm also thinking I might make a roman shade to go underneath these, but I'm still trying to figure it all out!
I'll give you a break down of everything later....price...and really how I put the whole thing together when I have some more time!
