My first curtain is done with the fringe! The back story: My mom had this idea to cut up these indian tablecloths she had and make curtains out of them for us. I agreed with the idea- you can't pass up free curtains! plus it's a quick little fix for a temporary living situation.... and sort of Maria van trapp of us! (well, kinda- I won't be making a dress out of them anytime soon!)
(The mustard trim.) The only problem was- once I got them hung they looked a little too dorm room as if the only thing keeping them from looking like a second thought was the rod... without the rod it would have just looked like some tapestry slapped up there at the last minute and all I needed was a lava lamp and a poster of Mr Bob Marley. HENCE where the trim came in! I cut the curtains up the middle and now I have begun to sew this trim on either side.

Now I have 3 more curtains to sew the trim to, so I best get a move on!
