Goodbye red floral curtains. You will not be missed.
I still have 2 more panels to sew of the sheer curtains, but I couldn’t wait a moment longer. It was with glee that I took the old red curtains down and cut into them with my sewing sheers. I hope to reuse the fabric when I make Noodlehead’s Go Anywhere bag. Perhaps I’ll make some pillows too just to remember the curtains by.
With Dan’s help and perhaps Elly’s help too, the new sheer curtains were hung.
Now as much as I love the new sheer curtains and I especially adore all the light they let in, I am on the hunt for new home decorator fabric that can layer overtop. Our front room faces south and gets blasted by the sun all day long. By noon, it’s like an inferno in the living room. The old shades provided much needed protection from the sun by blocking it out. The sooner I can find new fabric and line such fabric with flannel – for that is the key to weather protecting curtains – the less often we will have to run our AC.

Yes, those sheers litghtened up your room immensely. I love sheers! I’ve had them in my bedroom and I loved the light, flowly look. And I have a little Ellie too.
I followed you over from the Thrify Decor Chick linky party. I would love if you stopped by my blog.
Thanks for sharing,

Thank you! I have a little bit of yardage left and was thinking of putting them in my bedroom too. Natural light does something for the soul.
