I've only gone and done it.

Yup.....I've made a curtain!!!

£30 worth of fabric, lining and other bits and bobs. I only have another 7 to make

If a 40 year old bloke with no sewing experience whatsoever can make a curtain with a cheap sewing machine from Argos then anyone can!

 

[theoldsalt]

Excellent work

Are you taking orders ?

 

[saltylegs]

nice job too what sort of machine

There will be no holding you back now then.

I have a couple of antique chairs here waiting for me to re-upholster.

Pm me when you feel you have reached that level..

 

[DanTribe]

How are they hanging?

 

[SlimRick]

Thanks folks - at current production rates, they should be finished around 2016 so will happily take deposits to secure your place on the waiting list

Machine was one of these:

I'm pleased to see it works, I too bought a cheapy sewing machine to stitch curtains. For £59 I thought I couldnt get into too much trouble unless I managed to attach myself to the drapery.
