From Tablecloth to Valance

April 27, 2008 at 5:42 am | In Sewing | 4 Comments

The Ingredients:

 

Tablecloth:  Moda Blue Fruit Tablecloth

 

Wrights Double Fold Bias Tape: Berry

 

 

Lining:  Blackout Fabric

 

 

 

 

I just cut the corner off , cut a blackout lining piece, and bound the edges with bias tape.  Then I added a “sleeve” to the back for a tension rod and voila!  One valance done.  I have the Roman shades ready to put up but alas, I can’t until the trim is up and painted.

Well, I bought this fabric from a woman on the Woodshed and teased that I’d make it the day it arrived.  Well, the day it arrived I was out of town so I didn’t make it that day but I did make it two days later.  And I’ve been waiting for Braelyn to do pictures since. 

 

However, after all the remodeling we’ve been doing, we haven’t been doing laundry on a very consistent basis so Lorna was left without a dress that is long enough to keep her decent.  Around the house that isn’t as horrifying as it is when you’re trying to go to church!  So, I pulled out the dress and insisted Nolan take a picture of it. 

 

Since the dress is sleeveless and since it’s coldish and windy, we needed warmth.  So they put a sweater on her.  They kind of forgot to take off the sweater but since the point is to prove that I did make the dress, here we go.

 

Ingredients:

Fabric:  Fabric Traditions Lavender Butterflies

 

Pattern:  Vogue 7579 view C (sleeveless)

 

The dress…
