MUKU OWNERS

not my fav. 

I knew that I would make some sort of different look with the fabric when they came in, but I really just experimented with how I wanted them to look. It was trial and error. I laid them on the ground like I always do with curtains and just folded and pinched and pinned until I came up with a solution. 

the moment of truth. I cut the grommets off, and folded the top under, about 3." I then ironed it down with my favorite starch and trusty iron. 

I sort of just pinched up every foot or so, until I had a good little pinched look, then sewed a stitch in the back of the pinch, on the back of the curtain. 

I wouldve taken pictures of my process, but honestly, I was using both hands the whole time, and no one else was home! So, Im borrowing this photo from my friend Shannon, over and Shannon Berry Designs. Heres a photo from her curtain tutorial:

I folded mine like these, the same distance apart, the width of the panel. 

Then, when that was done, I folded them over, and created two little pleats with my fingers, and stitched those together. 

this is exactly what I did, except I had three little pinches. 

(thanks Shannon for letting me borrow, aka steal, your photos! )

I could only do four pleats, because of the width of my store bought panels, but its okay, because my windows dont have a ton of room on the sides that I want lots of build up of curtains. 

voila! I was very proud of myself. I dont have a sewing machine, so I hemmed/sewed everything by hand. It took me a long time, but I was really proud of how they turned out! 

yeah! They look so great with my peach walls, too! Now if my bedspread would hurry up and get here! I cant wait. 

My curtains for the master bathroom also came in this weekend. Ill try and take some good photos of them, too. I love them! Things are coming along...
