beautiful! beauuuuuutiful. nice photos too.
i wish i had better sewing skills but i guess the only way to work on them is to try something really really really easy (curtains) and be happy with the results, right?

LL, i say go for it. even if you aren't 100% satisfied the worst that can happen is that you will have temporary curtains

there is a fabric store around here that has a huge bargain loft where everything is $1.99/yard, it is the best place and i have made most of my curtains with discount fabric

honestly, moving has put me back into my pennypincher mode and i'm thrilled by the idea of making the cutest cheapest curtains within my reach -- there's a great fabric store within walking distance and i am anticipating spending some time there. for me ideas are not the problem, it's finishing them to completion/perseverance. so if i can make something fast and easy and also cute and cheap? i am hoping that this will snowball a little until i have curtained the whole place, and then next proj.
so it will happen, starting next week

Nice looking ties!
I used work as an industrial sewing machine operator in a necktie factory and I believe your ties would have passed inspection.
