Much to my mom's delight, I've been sewing. Appropriately, my first project on my "new" machine was, indeed, hemming pants. But, I've since moved on to more fun and exciting things. Like curtains for the nursery. I'm super excited about how they turned out and I smile every time I walk by the nursery and see them.
I learned to do a blind hem. I imagine this will be quite useful in the future, but it's a little tricky and quite nerve-wracking. Fortunately, it turned out okay.
Scout supervised the process, lending her extensive expertise when needed
Sewing on the buttons. This was the last step and I was really excited to get them on, put the curtains up, and be done with it.
The finished product. Really, I think it turned out super cute, if I do say so myself. And look, you can get an idea of the wall color.
And a close-up so you can admire the adorableness.

Adorable curtains. Yay for sewing!!
So cute! You did a great job.
Seriously super cute. I love the colors and my favorite is the buttons!!! How lame am I that I just keep asking my mom to do projects for me! :-)
Proud of you Jenni. You did a great job. They are adorabable
Super cute curtains. Maddie just asked me if Grandma made them. In her experience, any handmade item is done by Grandma. But in my defense, I did do a zigzag stitch to mend my white snowpants. And I sewed Sam's scout badges on his shirt. Of course I told him he would have to settle for white cuz I don't know how to change the thread. Once the bobbin runs out, my sewing days are over.
Those curtains are so adorable!!! Love the pink & green! Ryan is better with the sewing machine than I am. In fact, I am willing to bet your dog is more likely to complete a sewing project than me.
DARLING!!!!!
That is a very cute vallance you made! I love it.
Loving the nursery! If you want something done right, do it yourself!
