Sister Kristy came to visit for a few days and I put her straight to work :) Joe has been on my case for a few months to either make or buy curtains in our bedroom. I have looked at all the regular store...Bed Bath and Beyond, Wal-Mart, Target, Pottery Barn Outlet, etc. and I could not find anything that I liked. So...I decided that I could make some myself...out of BURLAP!!
Here is the window pre-curtain and below is Kristy ironing out the burlap. We folded the piece of burlap over so that there would be more coverage of the light outside. We ironed it flat.

Then, we folded over the top and made sure to put the clips where we thought they should go.
After we had it looking like we wanted, we hung it up on the rod and I cut the bottom.
Next, I ironed it AGAIN!!
In order to make the fancy no-sew hem, we applied a heat bond strip and ironed.
Then, we hung back up the curtain and used the ever fancy chip clips to make ripples. I plan to take them off today or tomorrow. Yay!! I like them...Thanks Sister!!
