I was really surprised though, as I thought that I would mostly be listening rather than talking on this call, so I kind of had to gather my thoughts quickly on the spot and then “sell” myself a little bit.
For the width, we just left it as-is and it was perfect.More than perfect!.
This room only has one window, so I made 2 panels.. For each panel, I folded the sides in about a 1/2 an inch and ironed it, then sewed it in place..I folded the bottoms of the panels in 1″ and ironed, then the tops got folded in 3″ and ironed.Both the bottom hem and the top were sewn in place as well.. And guess what?
You really can get a lot fancier with your hems if you want to get a more finished edge.You can fold them in twice to hide the fraying fabric pretty easily and iron then sew that.
The thing is though, you really don’t have to, and today is all about making this as simple and do-able as possible.
The real key is picking a really beautiful fabric that you love, and whether you go fancy with your sewing or extremely basic, you will absolutely love the end result!.-Any fabric, tile, or wallpaper samples from things you’ll be using in the room.. -Any inspiration pictures you’ve found that you love.. -Any paint samples you have that you love but don’t know what to do with.. -A willingness to try your hand at a DIY decor project, even if you’ve never painted before!.
