Howdy!
Today is a fun and frugal project. We moved the second kiddo into college life last week and if you have had this pleasure- you know how quick the cashola starts adding up. It is like setting up a second household.
While shopping for inspiration, my daughter and I came across this shower curtain at World Market....
Today is a fun and frugal project. We moved the second kiddo into college life last week and if you have had this pleasure- you know how quick the cashola starts adding up. It is like setting up a second household.
While shopping for inspiration, my daughter and I came across this shower curtain at World Market....
The colors and pattern were perfect for the look my daughter was hoping for. After grabbing a few cool lanterns and accessories- we dubbed the coming design "I Dream of Jeanie". :)
The second item I cut was the 15x15 pillow. My insert was actually 16x16 and I bought it at Walmart. The difference between making the bed scarf and a pillow- I had to cut lining for the pillow. The shower curtain was a bit sheer to stand on its own. I grabbed leftover plain off-white fabric. I cut a total of four 15.5 x 15.5 inch squares. I sewed the print fabric to the plain fabric to create two 15.5 x 15.5 inch squares. Next step is to sew the two squares together - leaving the bottom open to insert the pillow form. Once I inserted the pillow form I folded the raw edges in and pinned the seam closed. Final step... sew the bottom opening shut.
The third item I cut was the curtain tie back. I cut a piece of fabric which measured 6 x 24 inches. Again, I made a backing out of the plain fabric for the tie back.
The fourth item I created was the Window Valance. I measured from the top of the shower curtain down this time. I wanted to keep the area where shower hooks would normally go. I measured and cut a piece that measured 22 x 72 inches. I did not line the valance because I wanted to keep the sheer feeling. I sewed a two inch hem in the bottom and that was it!
The fifth item I created was a deskchair or table scarf. Ok, I will be honest... I do not have a measurement for this item. It was the last of the fabric and I just put a hem in it. By the time I created this- it was midnight and I was in an almost zombie state. I KNOW you have been there... We used it on a little table to bring that wonderful pattern to the opposite side of the room.
Till Later,
Enjoyed the project?
