Mutti (my grandmother) and I made scarves for a few family members for Christmas this year. I have been wanting to spend more time with Mutti ever since we moved back to ATX, and sewing seems to be the perfect fit! That said, after we finished the scarves, I decided that we needed another project to get to work on...CURTAINS! One of my 30 Before 30 goals is to have curtains for our the entire downstairs of our house. I went ahead and bought some Target curtains for our dining room as the whole world can just peak right in if they are curious, so that one was a need.
However, I want to flex my creative muscles for the kitchen and the living room. For the kitchen, I simply decided to create a straight valance for each of the three windows. The tutorial I found is simple, so I went ahead and dove in for some fabric! I found this little number 50% off at Joanne's Fabric, had a 10% off coupon, and the last part was a remnant so that 7/8 of a yard was another 50% off! With the rings and the fabric it came out to $34.67! I told the lady at the register that this could either be a super deal or a disaster! She said she had good feelings about my project, so hopefully she is right!
Window #1. This one may be a little difficult because the window is wider than the width of the fabric, so we may sew on some blocks of solid fabric on either side. That was Mutti's idea.

Windows #2 and 3. I love these windows and I can't wait for them to be dressed!
**I would apologize for the mess in our kitchen, but I'm not going to. I am, as the Pioneer Woman says, "keeping it real."
