My First Sewing Project as an Adult

So we've been renting the same house since May, and since May we've been having the same problem. Namely, one of the windows in our bedroom has shutters that only go up halfway and every night when we try to go to bed, our neighbor's light shines in through our window. As Andrew says, "It's like trying to sleep with a strobe light on!" Our neighbors are 100 years old but apparently they have a much later bedtime than ours. So now that I have a sewing machine (graciously given to me for Christmas by my angel mother and hardworking father), I finally decided to do something about it.

So I found a pillow case in our cupboard that had lace on one side. I carefully picked out the stitching on all sides and was left with a great sheet of cloth perfect for a curtain. I bought a tension rod and sewed a loop in the top for the rod and then hemmed in the sides and Vioala! Easiest curtain pattern I've ever heard of! Andrew said he really likes the wavy seam lines. Sorry Mom, some things never change :)
