Finished Curtains and next on the list

You might remember a previous post where I talked about some custom curtains that I made for a friend.  I finally got a picture of them to show off and I think I did a pretty good job considering it was really my first time making curtains, much less curtains with a lining in them.

 

 

I did a  white blackout fabric lining on the back. I love this photo of the back of the curtains and thought how the pink fabric would make a great border to a white blanket.

For the curtains I looked at several tutorials online and a few sewing books I had but came up with my own measurements.  I thought the tutorial on ehow.com was one of the easiest to follow along as a guide for the lining part. 

I am now tackling curtains for B's room.  We just moved B (21 months) to a toddler bed and with that he is getting new bedding.  I am using fabric from the Riley Blake Wanna Be A Cowboy 2 line. 
The sheets are made of this:







The quilt will be made from this (minus the pinks):

And the curtains will be from this:


I was able to get blackout lining fabric at Joann's yesterday for around 80% off!  I think I paid around $2.24 a yard instead of $7 a yard.  I ordered the red horseshoe fabric from Fabric.com and with coupons and free shipping paid around $6.72 a yard for designer fabric, not too bad!
