Alexander Henry fabric curtains

alexander henry fabric curtains

I think with these Alexander Henry fabric curtains my daughters room is finally finished. I even went through all the toys and sorted, organized, and tossed- (not a small job, it hasn’t been done properly in years). It took me the entire morning, but it was way worth it. Now if I could just get my whole house as spotlessly organized as this one room…
The curtains were the finishing touch.

I have been waiting for the extra 2 yards I needed to come in the mail. I could only find the Alexander Henry “Hollywood” fabric in blue and brown on Ebay. Then… like a dork- I absentmindedly I cut the curtains too short. I accidentally ignored the #1 rule of woodworking and sewing alike: measure twice- cut once. Luckily, I wasn’t cutting wood or I would have had to start all over. I just had to improvise and patch things up a bit. in the end, I like the band at the top better than if it were just one solid color.




I found the little clippy holders at Ikea. The clips look confusing in the package. I thought I was going to have to sew button holes across the top of the curtain to make them work, but you just slide the fabric in and you’re done. Now, I can move along to the next room. My other daughter’s room (the “I really want my own room”, driving-force-behind-the-upheaval girl) is almost finished too. I’ll get some pics up soon.

Both of the patterns in Alexander Henry fabric curtains are two of my favorites. When it comes to AH fabrics, you really can’t go wrong for quality and design.
