Curtains

We've been in need of curtains at our house.  The baby, especially, thinks he needs to wake up with the sun. Our current budget didn't give me the "go" to buy them.  Luckily I found some old navy blue tab-top curtain panels, and I thought why not use that for the lining, and just sew me some curtains?  Right.  Well, I did it, but I though to myself many times through the course of this project, why do I think the ability to sew a semi-straight line make me think I'm in any way qualified to make things like quilts or curtains?!!!   I had my mom's help, and couldn't have done it without her.  

Here are Madeline's curtains: 

I got the general idea here.  I didn't take a picture of both panels together because one is shorter than the other.  Apparently I didn't measure?  Madeline doesn't care, and I try not to notice.

Here's Benson's curtain panel:

It's a good thing I kept leftover fabric from his quilt, because again I'm incapable of measuring correctly and we bought a lot less fabric than we actually needed.  Oh, well - it looks better this way.

And for my favorite of the bunch:

As I was cutting, and cutting, and ruffling, and ruffling, I was really hoping I would like these in the end.  I do, I do!!!  I'm so happy with how they turned out.  It was the perfect addition to our living room.  Tutorial found here.  Mine aren't as long as those in the tutorial, so only needed to use three twin flat sheets.
