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!

Trust me on this, tearing out several inches of
10-or-12-stitches-to-the-inch stitching is a whole lot
easier than ripping dense embroidery fill stitching. Ask me
how I know this.... :-(

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.

You're making great progress, especially with a babe to care
for as well. I hope you can put up pictures of the
butterfly mobile.

Beverly
