new IKEA curtains


I’ve been dying to make these curtains for my studio windows. I found this black and white floral print fabric at IKEA and I think it’s going to be perfect.  I’ve only been moved into this basement room for a week but I’m already sick of looking out at the ugly basement window wells full of leaves, rocks (ok, so the rocks are supposed to be there) and what not. This weekend I finally put everything aside for an hour or so and whipped these up. I left them simple, although I thought about putting a ruffle at the bottom-out of another fabric…maybe later. The fabric is oversized black outlined flowers on white background from IKEA. The fabric might be linen, I like it because it still lets a lot of light into the room even when the curtains are closed.  I also like this picture because you can kind of see the sparkle paint on the walls.
