It’s only taken me 2 years…

CurtainsFeb2013Another small but important first for me today – I managed to shorten my curtains to the right length, just 2 years after we moved into the house and bought them :)

I’d like to pretend that I used my shiny new sewing machine, to justify the sense of pride I feel about today’s achivement…but that would be a fib.  I used hemming tape which you just iron on (which is v excellent) – so the pride is simply from making the curtains the right length (and the same length!) with lovely straight lines everywhere.  I realise this is not at all amazing in the grand scheme of things (and all the amazing things I see on everyone’s blogs each week), but it makes me feel useful and practical, which is nice :)

It’s so lovely not to have them dragging on the floor, which really did look messy – I’m not sure why it took me so long!

And now back to my knitting – life is so good :)

  1. I’m impressed with your speed – I’ve recently been finishing off some projects that have been sitting around far longer than that!

    • Haha, fantastic – fortunately, I have no record of the start date of some of my other WIPs sitting around the house, so I can pretend to myself that it hasn’t been that long…! Good luck with yours – and I hope you find the pattern for your 2 year old socks-in-progress!
