Okay, so yesterday I took out the hem that I had put in these curtains when I bought them. Luckily I had not cut them and then hemmed them.
Being lazy does help at times!
Then I ironed them....
I think that being super wrinkly and having a large hem helped. See the difference? But now I have a new problem....
When I thought that I was going to have to seriously rethink these I envisioned them with a valance. And I liked what it looked like in my head. If it goes as usual, it will look much better in my head than in reality.
I didn't let the hem out of this pair though since the dog would just lay on them.
Hi Sheba!
I also decided that I didn't like this look any more. I want the panels pleated. I found the pleater tape that I had bought when I got these curtains. Wouldn't you know I only bought enough to do half the curtains. So I guess that I am off to buy more pleater tape tonight.
I'll show you later how to put it on and use it. I like it cause then I can take down my drapes and just flat iron them. No need to steam in the pleats.
You may wonder what happens when you tell a 3 year old to "go play so I can get this done"?
Yeah.... Atleast that room is on the list for NEXT month.

The curtains are looking great, so far, Maggie. ... and I just love the last photo of your little 3 year old at play !! It brings back so many memories !! XXXX
OOOOOHHHHHHHH!!!!! My sweet little Boss hogg!! I am so proud of her--it could have been worse--you know how she is!!
You caught a good break on the curtains--you have a week to finish until I'm there to take a pic of them!!!
I left her cousin alon like that once--hence his nickname "yellow balls."
Oh, I KNOW all too well what happens when you tell your 3 year old to go play, LOL Looks like she had fun though :)
Browsing today, I found your blog. Seeing that you are a fellow Tennessee Girl, I knew that I had to sign up as a follower. Come see me when you have a chance and looking forward to getting to know you.
Yep I can relate...when they are out of sight and too quiet I always wonder if I should just thank my lucky stars I can get something done and not worry about the likely hurricane they are creating, or go and check on why all is so out of the ordinary quiet :)
Lucky duck you know how to sew! If you can't do it with Liquid Stitch, hot glue, or a staple gun, I don't do it!
