make curtains for my bathroom

and do a good job of hiding the ugly pipe that runs above the window. The vivid orange doesn’t go with anything else in the bathroom, but it makes me smile :o) They’re not perfectly even, and if my grandmother – a gifted seamstress – could see my hems she’d disown me, but for a fiver’s worth of fabric and an hour’s work with scissors and wundaweb I think they’re not bad at all.

because I was planning to move out again, but now that I’ll be staying another couple months and want to make the place a bit nicer, it’s back on. I even remember where I put the orange satin, which is a minor miracle :o)

ever since I moved in, not because the bathroom particularly needs curtains but more to hide the ugly, badly-repaired wall around the window. There’s no room to hang a regular curtain rail, and the window is only small, so I figured I could cobble something together with a bit of fabric and Wundaweb which would do the job.

Yesterday I finally caught Hickey’s before it closed and bought the fabric. I’d been intending to get a cute gingham in blue, or maybe yellow, to go with the dolphins and starfish on the shower curtain. There were several shades of blue and one yellow, but they were all dreadfully boring, and far more expensive than I’d expected; so I thought screw it, I’ll get something really crazy, and checked out the clearance rack. I ended up with bright, bright orange satin, which only cost me a fiver and is sufficiently insane to make me smile every time I look at it :o)
