First project for the New Year

1/2/2014

1 Comment

 
So, in November I covered our old couch for my son to use in the apartment he was about to move into.

Read about it here, if you haven't already! Part #1, Part #2 and Part #3
Picture
He has been there for a month, and is very happy, EXCEPT ... there are 3 very large windows in his bedroom.  They are actually bowed out like a bay window and what a beautiful view he has from those windows ...


BUT ...


He often doesn't get home until 11 or even midnight and he is finding it impossible to get enough sleep in the morning because of the sunlight.


He needs black out curtains.  Actually, I was going to make these curtains for him in December, but you all know how my unexpectedly early and large Halloween workload kind of got in the way of lots of thing like Christmas gifts and decorations.  


So, this will be my project over the next few days.  Can't get started yet, though ... my studio is acting as a guest room for one more day.

I just made myself some blackout curtains that actually work - after several attempts that were mediocre. Mine are two double panels per window - full enough to be overlapped when closed. I'll be interested to see what you come up with.
