cutting off the excess stabilizer, I realized I had failed to make the last thread change, a red bar separating the upper and lower text of the logo. Aaaarrgghh!

Beverly,

Know the feeling - I was doing it as well on Sunday! I mean curtains, how easy - but I ended up ripping out two seams!

Seam number 1 came out when I realised (6" from the end) that I had the lining fabric at 90 degrees to the main fabric - in my defence I must point out these curtains are nearly square! and the lining is blackout lining.....

Seam number 2 came out on the same curtain when I realised after sewing it that the fabric had bunched up every now and again and was now semi-gathered on the lining ARGH!

And then DD woke up Monday night whilst I was sewing the header tape on to curtain #1..... so all work stopped.

Curtain #1 has now just been hung, and curtain #2 just awaits header tape. Then I can swap colours in the SM and sew the rod pocket for the sheer.
