Sewing

This past weekend I did something I never thought I would/could do. I sewed curtains for our kitchen. Paul was given a gift card to JoAnne Fabrics for Christmas and we finally decided to use it. They were having a sale on their upholstery material, 50% off. We picked a yellow fabric with red roosters. I looked at the fabric and knew I should hate it, but I just loved it. Somebody told me it was very french provincial (whatever that means).
Paul did the measuring and I did the cutting, ironing, and most of the sewing. Paul sewed the red edging on (we were using yellow thread and I didn't want any mistakes showing) and he also sewed the pull backs. It is amazing how much color they bring to the kitchen.
