Happy Monday! Hope you got loads of crafting done this weekend! I was busy decorating our front room over the weekend. I got a lot done, but still have a lot of work to do. {and I’m rather slow at decorating….might have something to do with that fact that I change my mind 10 million times…..ah, the curse of indecisiveness! haha}
But I did get some simple burlap panels sewn for the room.
Burlap Curtains
Nothing crazy or difficult. I have a lot going on on the other side of the room, {are you dying of curiosity yet?} so I didn’t want busy curtains. {ok, i’ll spill a little….my door shelf is in the other corner}
I am doing sort of a vintage meets modern kind of room. It has bright colors, bold patterns {obviously not pictured above} fun textures, and some of my fave vintage goodies. Still working on a few things in the room…..
Like I’m hating the sticks in the corner. And thinking the rug has to go. What do you think?
DIY Burlap Curtains
It was so easy to make the burlap panels!
- I got a roll of burlap from Burlap Fabric in the width I needed for the panels, 54″ wide. That way the sides were already finished and I didn’t have to bother sewing them.
- I measured the length I needed and 3″ on each end to allow for hemming.
- Used this trick for cutting burlap straight. {cut across where the burlap string was removed}
- Folded over 3″ at the top and bottom and pressed flat with a hot iron.
- Sew the hem on both ends twice to reinforce it and you’re done!
So that’s how I sewed my easy burlap panels. I put the panels on clips so that the burlap didn’t bunch up on the rod. I think they hang nicely this way.
Are you excited to see my Sitting Room all decorated? Me too! Now I need to go finish decorating it!
happy crafting,
Linda
