Patchwork Curtain Reveal

  Vintage Curtains

I'm not sure if you will remember the sheet project I was going to surprise you with-it was so long a go.

Many of you guessed it was going to be a quilt.

But no!

 I had planned all along to make vintage sheet curtains for my g'daughter Starlet.

I have to say that although this was a 'fly by the seat of my pants project' with no pattern, it was quite easy.

 I will warn you that it was very time consuming with so much sewing, but still very easy.

 And I honestly can't remember when I've enjoyed working with fabric as much as I did with my collection of sheets.

Several of my vintage sheets were collected while we were in the Yukon, on the way home through Saskatchewan, and then as far South as Iowa.

 

The patterns in the old sheets are just gorgeous, I think. And I remember many of them from my own mothers household. I just bet you may recognise a few yourselves!

 





I can not take credit for this as an original idea.

I first saw the curtains above on Maggie & Sparrow's flickr, which set me out collecting my sheets in the first place.

 

After making four panels I still have enough fabric to make more curtains or another project.

 So, who knows, you may be right about that quilt after all!
